Fuel consumption will increase as well. Higher ethanol content increases water contamination issues in your fuel system. People I know that race with it drain their fuel system after a race and put good fuel in to let it sit.

I removed my booster on my 1050 dominator by screwing a screw on that banjo from the metering block side and pulling the screw with a vise grip. Then the booster just slides out from the top. Then just reverse the step for installation. I used a special grease that came with my kit. Not sure what is it, looks like a very thin red lube. Good luck.

Very common to do it that way and at one time you could buy the booster "retention" inserts, if you screwed on up on removal.

Sounds like u put a screw into the booster pin and removed the banjo with booster still inside, I'm talking about just removing the booster itself from the banjo, leaving the banjo and booster pin installed in main body, done it many times! I suspect charlie is still using gas sized holes in his 12 hole booster's and that's why its not entirely happy, I would enlarge them to .059

I messed up on terminology. What I meant to say is the pins that locks the booster in place.
