Hey, i think you should "listen" to what demonsizzler advised you to do, that might solve your issues .
Joedust - Maybe you missed it - here it is......
Quote: Replaced the carb flange gasket - improved slightly but still a vacuum variation and running pretty ordinary (Sorry its bad news Dave)
ademon - I went back to .101 jets as soon as I swapped the flange gasket - I've had a fair bit of experience with these carbs, but never hit this type of issue before....
I really think its not getting enough fuel, even with the air bleeds fully blocked, I can't get the AF below 12.5 AF
FWIW, if I'd had the mixture screws set like this on the old intake it would have been reading 9s!
.....so I'm wondering what my options are to fatten the idle circuit?
