I need a step-by-step in person tunning session in order to get things through my thick skull.
Ol' Bob there must have something else happening. You DO NOT need to readjust the settings on the Webers every two or three runs, or every two or three months, or, well you set the time period. I say they're more like the Popeil Showtime rotisserie barbeque....set it and forget it. Once dialed in to your specific needs and liking, they're no different than any other carb. How often do you adjust the settings on your Holley or AFB after they've been properly set up? Almost never, right? Same deal here.

I have been tweaking these IDA's a little here and there, but it's a fuel mixture optimization quest. I'm not doing this on a dyno so it's more of a shady tree mechanic thing, but I like it. Quite frankly, I could run forever the way they are right now and not fret. But it's the ever constant quest for just that little more. Besides, like Rick said, it's the most fun I've ever spent on a hot rod in my 60 years...oops, did I just say that? Got to lose a few pounds too.

Rodney, it would be my pleasure to come up bayside and give you a hand. Anytime.
