Tom, if you have an electronic ignition and a hydraulic cam, your tune-ups are pretty much limited to replacing your spark plugs, adjusting your timing, and cleaning/adjusting your carb. That last item more than anything. I have a friend who recently had some Holley carb trouble and took it apart for a thorough cleaning. Inside the bowls, the gas literally "sparkled" with what looked like glitter from a little girl's craft kit. The ethanol was slowly eating the coating away and, of course, causing havoc with all the carb's circuits. And teeny-weeny clogs do act differently as the carb heats up and as vacuum values change (from another thread).
