    EMPI HPMX 44 Carbs

    I have a 1915cc street legal rail buggy with dual EMPI HPMX 44s. I might have a problem with the right side carb. The buggy runs great for a while; then the right side of the motor gets cold and runs terrible. I had the carbs rebuilt three times and re-jetted by a professional. Are there problems with the HPMX carbs? Should I throw them in the trash and start over with newer carbs? Several tech-oriented friends cannot figure it out either. Can anyone there give me some advice? The problem is intermittent. Thank you.
