its stock, the secondary were just opening way to early, I could get them half way open sitting in the driveway revving it, it dosen't bogg now but the idle is still kinda rich, I just have to adjust the A/F screws. |

Yeah, stock engine is way differant to tune driveability issues than an engine with a big cam. Stock is hard to beat the stock carb and ignition in proper working order. |

wow, I never realized how big float height is on these carbs, both the primary's and secondary's where way to high, I set them so the primary's just barely dribble out the sight plug, and the secondary's so you have to give it a little shake to get fuel out the sight plug, it immediately started running better, adjusted the idle mix screws a little hopefully my issue is now fixed
this is my issue, I was leaving little black puddles everywhere I went
