Phil did a great job on the carb.
He set the carb up according to head, cam annd timing specs for street driving. Gave me newe springs for the MSD to bring the iming in sooner. He added another hole in the metering blocks for better emulsion, and blocked off the rear power valve. Changed the front powere valve to a 2.5, and went down two jet sizes.
I put the carb back on and itt starts much better, especially when hot. No more "burn your eyes out" fumes at idle.
I need warmer weather and clean streets for a true road test.
Last Saturday was nice, but the tires were too cold.
They would spin a 35 mph with 3/4 throttle.
Anyway for the $400 it was well spent.
If you have carb troubles talk to Phil.
Actually any perforrmance related troubles, talk to Phil.

Thanks to those who gave me his contact info.
