I have advanced the timing all over the place, retuned the carb idle screws and idle speed. I think its too rich. it seemed better when the engine was cool. I can plug one of the primary idle bleeds an it slowes down, plug both of the and it almost dies. As far as the transfer slots go I had the timing up high enough the idle screw was barely turned. i backed off the secondary idke screw until it was shut.... nothing seems to help. The converter is tight.
idle at 1000 1100 and it drops into gear hard.
