Default raptor carb question?

I am having problems doing wheelies with my raptor. I know everyone says to change your floats and use the tube method. Instead of doing that can I just buy a aftermarket carb. if I do that do i need to have any other changes to my bike (airbox, jetting)? And what is a nice carb, and do you have a good increase in power? thanks.

I just finished installing my FCR carbs....not only do they not fit the frame of the bike...they also interfere with the exhaust...oh yah and did I mention that they don't fit into the intake manifolds correctly...
stay with the stock carbs...evenn when you buy the aftermarket carbs they require jetting work

Would they at least fix the wheelie problem? Flooding the engine.

They cost $730...I'm just pissed cause I spent a better part of the day doing a carb install that should take very little time...for that much they should bolt up better[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
