I'm having alittle trouble getting my dual carbs dialed in, the 1st is rich, and the second is lean. My fuel pump was putting out 3.5psi, but the guy I bought my carbs from said I should run 2.6psi instead. What do you guys think?
I've got 60 idle jets and 180 mains, which I thought was overkill, until he told me that I should run 2.6 instead of 3.5 psi. |

I have some 46 and 52 idle jets at home (60s installed). I told Aaron this, and he seemed to think that I would be better off with a 65 or maybe a 70. I'll hold off on rejetting until I get everything else setup - I'm tired of chasing my tail on those jets for now.
I've ordered the rotory pump, and new gaskets for my carb. I'll keep everyone posted. |
