Actually the bike is still at the FOs place, when i have it here ( hopefully on Monday...) i will have a look if anything else of that emission reducing staff is build in and if there's a date on the VIN plate. Actually a german 50hp engine and carb is built in, i have the original 75hp engine and that VE 75 carb here as spare parts. The FO told me, the original engine with that VE75 ran pretty bad and he found out there is low compression on cyl 3. So he built in the 50hp engine and carb. Anyway, if they had that " low emission" carb working without the rest of low emission staff and maybe with some open vacuum connections, i can imagine that the engine didn't run too good...
