I have an 850 Mighty Demon on my 440, and am trying to tune the carb.It has a 6.5 power valve and is pulling 10" vaccumm at idle 1200 rpm.How do you determine what size power valve to change to? Thanks Dave

If you have more vacuum than the power valve, then you are ok.

There is some good tuning info out there.

www.4secondsflat has a tuning video, and a tuning guide available

1200 RPM is pretty high for an idle. The vacuum reading should be done in gear, warm, and as for which power valve, I have read either 1/2 of the reading, or 2 sizes below the reading.
