Just got it back and it seems to be cured. Had to put in larger primary and secondary jets, smaller metering rod and heavier spring. Replaced the acc pump as well. Secondary spring was too loose also. Raised the float level slightly. Lots and lots of trial and error time spent on making it right.

You should see the bill!

Thing runs like a bigger block now. Damn good tuner. Anyone interested in his name or location, just ask. He's in Carlsbad, Calif. and when I picked up my car this afternoon, he was rebuilding and tuning the 6 Weber carbs on a classic Lambo Espada his shop had recently begun to restore. Now, that's a job!

He said the same thing the "experts" have said, If this doesn't fix it, we'll put on a Holley and be done with it! He custom builds them for each engine. There goes another grand!
