It doesn't have a sealed carburetor.

There is no doubt that VC has their fingerprints all though their 460 engine and thats one of the reasons I may never switch to one of these 625 engines.
I'm thinking at some point this 625 will be sold as a built engine with billet rods, torque or rpm cams, the whole works also. All I know for sure is VC sells some awesome products and I will continue to be a supporter of theirs over any of the other suppliers. My engine hasn't as much as hiccuped yet. Get on, turn the switch on, pull the choke, hit the gas pedal and by the time I'd think maybe I'll hear it turn over its running, first compression stroke. Sweet engine.
I wish I could watch some of their videos but so far all I've found are the ones where they're racing the carts outside of their manufacturing plant. I don't/won't do facebook
I'm an old man with COPD who loves hunting for edible mushrooms, the fun kind back in my day but thats a topic for another story. If my cart goes down on me on some of my jaunts it very well may be a death sentence for me due to my health. No Cell phone service in most of that area to make matters even worse. I'm 100% sure if my cart lays down on me it won't be the engine. Something I wasn't so sure about with the old flathead engine I took out. With this 460 if either my brother or myself has an issue and need to get our azzes back we can do it in a right now hurry
