Make no mistake about it, tuning is the most important aspect of any engine combination. Any dummy with a set of wrenches, sockets, and a little know-how can put an engine together, bolt a carb on it and say "done." The engine will run and depending on the carb setup it may even run decent, but without actually dialing in the carb and properly tuning the engine, you may be doing more harm to the engine than your aware.
