What the 161 T G SP does for you

25 features in 6 groups. The tabs change by themselves until you choose one.

    About Hard-O-Tronic® →

  • Gravity feed – Version G with overrun adjuster

    Feed tube holes of different diameters naturally dose air into the mix; overrun can be adjusted even with a full tank using the overrun adjuster.
