I think you'll be very happy with the 1406
maybe a lil rich for a RV cam,
but the metering rods are super easy to change just two torx head bolts and out they come.

If my Quad isn't suitable for a rebuild, I'm going with a 1406 myself. I've put two of 'em on different engines so far and I've liked 'em okay. For the price, they're hard to beat, but I am looking real hard at a Road Demon.
