Aftermarket carburetor
IHRA answers this part for 14 of its classes. 7 of those answers are permissions, with or without limits attached, and 7 are not. 3 are inferred from how the class is written rather than quoted from a rule naming this part.
Where it stands, class by class
14 classes, grouped by the answer rather than listed one by one, because an answer that holds for a class usually holds for every class that borrows its rules.
No rule, this is an open class Our reading, not a rule we can quote at you. This class carries no stock clause at all, so anything unlisted appears to be open. The rulebook does not say so in terms.
