Cont: I'm making my posts short as I type slow and have been having trouble connecting to this site.
My first runs with the jetting the carbs came with had a good idle, but stumble in the transition area. No AF gauge at that time. I called Inglese and he sent me a jet package based on my eng specs. Trial run after installation showed improved idle, but still stumble in transition. Called Jim with results and he said I should set the initial timing up to around 18 deg, which I did but then the stumble was just at lower rpm.
After that I bought and installed the AF gauge so I coul see if it was going rich or lean.
