Unfortunatly when people buy demons no one tells them about the 18-22 deg they need, I also was not informed, or I would have bought something else. but I end up messing with them and couldn't figure it out and a sharp tech a BG told me about the timing. Problem solved.

Never heard of this before........maybe the case for a big block Ford engine,but my 351-W with a Demon runs perfectly at 12 degrees intial timing,no hesitation,no bog,no nothing,just flat out goes...
My 331 stroker runs prefectly at 10 degrees intial timing, no hesitation, no bog, no nothing, this one really hauls the mail from idle to 6500+rpms....

on both carbs,all I did was change jets by reading the spark plugs, adjust the float levels as per directions and use a vacum gauge to tune the idle circuit...both have not been touched in years once I got them tuned to my engines.........
