With the carb out of the box, I felt a lean surge on primary metering.

Installed the 82 primary jets tonight.

Verified fuel pressure at WOT on the road with my shop gauge - never below 5.5psi. Not enough time to do a thorough road test.

I previously hooked up my shop vac gauge and monitored during several drive conditions. I did this to try and verify I have the correct Power Valve. It seems the carb was somewhat lean on the primary circuit during light to moderate load. Conditions where the power valve would typically not open.

That is what drove the decision to install 2 sizes richer primary jets as the first tuning move.

I will get a drive in this weekend, weather permitting, and determine if more tuning needs done.
