Drove it around today, didnt do great, but not super horrible, the nozzles kept randomly sticking down... the rear needle and seet where sticking also...
But its getting there.
Lost the hood prop, it will be missed. Did get some props from the hood. But that wont hold my hood up.
Fixed the brakes.... I had some of the carpet bunched under the ebrake so it was holding it 1 click up, kinda silly.
The vibrations from the more solid trans mount are verry noticeable.

Maybe you just need more carbs. If 2 is good maybe 4 is better.

After reading your issues with Carbs and other forum dilemmas about carbs.. I have come to the conclusion I am going to save money to have a specialty shop tune the hell out of my CVK's..
Its another language that I would like to learn but have a brain too full of other languages taking up all the space. That's like two or something.

I got it now, little rich at idle, black and tan, perfect at 3500-4000 rpm, tan. 5k its tan with white, but 6k is really white.
Guess my new redline is at 5k? Not really happy with that so im going to try a thicker dampner oil, running 10w fork oil right now. Rear seat stuck again today, the brand new one.

No wide band installed.
Just checking plugs.
I dont know what you meen by fat ones. There blanks some where? I think ill try a heavyier dampning oil, because your supposed to run richer.
To be honest, now that the mixture isnt soo lean, the power isnt there like it was. Might try and advance alittle more now.

Realy? Thats good to know.
Seems pretty darn spot on under 6k tho now. Fixed the rear float.
Retarded it to 36 degrees total advance. Seems to be doing great right now. Besides its geared super tall.
