No more leaks.. ran REAL strong... but I forgot to
open the dumps.. again... no fuel issue this time and
I didnt change anything... I pulled to to higher revs
and it likes it... only went to 7500rpm... went nice
and straight also.. looks like the pre load is close

I found my fuel issue today by accident ..as a buddy and
I we cruising to a show(just a place to go) my throttle
started hanging up at about 1400 pm.. when I got to the
show I open the hood and pulled the air cleaner... the throttle
linkage had a pit of play.. that was fine.. then I notices the
primaries are open a fair bit..way more than normal.. looking
around I see the throttle pressure cable came loose and the collar
on it was holding the blades open.. I put it back together the
way it should be adjusted and it idled fine.. on the way back
home I got on it HEAVY... ran great... if not better.. all I can
assume is the blades hanging up and the AIS were getting stupit
readings and some how shutting down fuel..or something... I tried
it 4 times on the way home(beating on it).. perfect each time

Have you run any crankcase pressure checks? Running a PCV system or just venting to atmosphere? ME Wagner makes an adjustable PCV valve ( both for idle and cruise )if you decide to go that route. Could be a leak fixer.

Just breathers right now.. no I havent done any vac readings
yet... that leak was my own fault.. when the tittie broke
off and I was tightening the pan.. I seen the front seal
moving forward.. I didnt think it was gonna be a issue...
I was wrong... the hole that the tittie should have been
in was where the oil was coming out of... I will hook up
a compound gauge to see what I have in there.... if I want
to run a PCV I would have to mod the air cleaner.. but I
want a new air cleaner with the 2 inlets with the hoses
EDIT
I'm thinking about making some changes to the engine..
it lopes big time and I'm not thrilled with all the
tappet noise and I have them tighter than spec.. that roller
might go.. also thinking of a change with the heads.. I
might put the W-5s back on... or pick up some new heads..
I just dont know yet
