This is my first set of Dellortos. Never even played with a set of Webers. I cant seem to adjust cylinder #2. Mixture screw can be turned in all the way and engine runs the same. If I pull the spark plug wire on #2 engine runs the same. If I pull any of the others engine runs worse. I changed the distributor and wires and did not help. Also checked my compression on all cylinders and they were even 115 - 120. These are new pistons and rings and havent run this enough to seat them yet. I'm guessing its fuel related. Is this a common problem with these carbs? My plan was pulling the jets out and blowing them out when I get home. Any carb experts willing to give some advice?

Thanks, Scott
