Great success today. Intial at 18, Max at 37 and all in around 3000, or perhaps a bit less. (It was getting close to max @ 2800 and I don't like revving it too high when un-loaded).
Idle is still hot, but not terribly bad. Idles about 18 in Hg, Sometimes it comes down from WOT and idles a bit low till I clear it. Slight delay when I floor it, but so small, it's acceptable. Seems ot happen at any rpm I try to accelerate from, so I figure a little playing with the accel pump cams should fix it.
Higher rpms sound OK, but I'm not sure. I started at 37 intending to work down vs lower (say 34) and working up, so I may try to drop the max down a few degrees to see if it makes a difference.
So far, it works better than ever and "no smoking" for the first time. Interestingly, it was also the first time I used Sealed Power rings vs Hastings. Major different
oil seperator design. I credit that ring for no more smoking.
