Yesterday I spent some time ballancing my 48 IDA's as I was having some poping out of the driver side pipe. Part of the linkage between the left and right carbs had loosened up since I had not tightened one lock nut securely. Then I reset best idle on all carbs. I then took it on a 30 mile trip to see a friend and it ran so good I couldn't belive the difference. Having the carbs ballanced front to back and side to side is the real secret to getting your setup running great. I run 90 octane gas btw.

Paul, if you have any questions please let me know and I will try to answer them based on my experience, but I am not an expert by any means. I have only this summers' driving time to relate to you.
