Well I finally got time to get it all put back together and took it out for a test drive. On a 15 mph roll when I stomp on it it bogs for a split second and then leaves a strip of black marks and finally pulls almost like it should. Not quite there but much much better. I think it needs a little more timing but my problem that I can not fix is a very very fast idle when I advance the timing.

But I can not get this motor to idle under 1200-1300 rpm even with the throttle screw backed all the way out. Even when I had the carbs off working on them the center carb throttle plate is always open a little bit, you can not even get it close all the way if you push it. Is this normal?? I always thought the plates closed all? would a heavier spring help? I have an orange spring on it and when I have it running and pull it as far forward as I can it will drop a tiny bit but still is way too high. How can I slow this thing down as it needs the timing but then that makes it idle too fast and when I go to shut it off if it is not in gear it will have the motor run on. Any more help??
