Default Re: Thanks to all...

Thanks to all for your feedback.

I considered various options and decided to drop down four jet sizes on primary, down two sizes on the secondary, lowered the floats just a tad for cornering, and howdy its much closer now.

I just took the car out for a fairly chilly one hour test ride after changes...

It seems to do a bit better now in the sub 3,500 rpm range now, more stable to drive, and crisper throttle response. From here I can play with idle mixture and discharge nozzles a bit more for the fine tune. I also learned that my 160 thermostat is not helping much in the winter, its running steady at about 160 degrees now, so I may go back to a 180 during the cold months. I noticed if I get caught at a light, and the temp goes up to 170, the throttle response cleans up. Its much closer now. Thanks!
