Does carb spacer increase horsepower?

Yes, they will give you more horsepower. But carb spacers have another important function. They also act as insulators which keep engine heat away from your carburetor to ensure cooler incoming air and fuel.

Are carburetor spacers worth it?

Spacers are said to improve air/fuel vaporization through and out of the carburetor. Anytime the air/fuel charge has to turn sharply coming off the carb, it increases the chance of separating the fuel from the air. Spacers also have an insulating affect, tending to cool the air/fuel charge.

What does a carburetor spacer plate do?

Are 20mm spacers safe?
