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. |

It just plain makes good sense. You'll establish a baseline, know your floats and such are set properly, know what all of your jet sizes are (for certain), etc... Then if you have problems, you're not chasing stuff that you *know* isn't a problem or second guessing yourself.
Aside from a tiny stumble at steady throttle (which is probably a vacuum leak from sloppy throttle shafts or as you have discovered warped manifolds or carb bases) mine is now running better than it ever has since I've owned it. Even with a 009 installed. |
