Well after much playing and changing I have to say I hate my carbs. I have done every jet size and I can't really get it to run well on anything but 70 idle jets and that is way to rich. With 60s it runs not quite as rich but the hesitation on the initial throttle is huge.

Have played with the adjustments and I think I have it running well but it never performs well. 2056 just built, 44 IDFs, 60 idle jets, 28 vents, 135 mains, F-11 emulsion tubs, 175 air correction jets. Timing at 27 to 30. SVDA Dizzy with electronic ignition. Valves recent set and rechecked. Synced at idle and 1500 rpm.

Runs well at higher rev and pulls strong but I can't get rid of that hesitation. I know there will always be some but at times from a dead stop it almost stalls.

What am I missing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Gone through all of the Weber tech trouble shooting steps and I can't find anything that says I have something wrong. Is there an adjustment on the accelerator pump? Or do I need to up the accelerator jet?

I will be going back to FI at some point but these carbs should work better than they do. Taking it to Eurohaus tomorrow maybe they will have better luck.

Suggestions?
