How do I like it. It's a long sad saga, and my racing has back bunered it endlessly.

In short, when my mech/builder finished it, I was out of $. So he sold me a set of Webers cheap, and when I picked it up, it just didn't run right. Popping backfing, etc. He tuned and changed jets, etc for a couple hours, and it got better ways, but wasn't right.

It seemed like fine tuning, so I brought it home, and kept at it. Still, I never got it right, and eventually decided that the shafts must be leaking, etc, and just bought PMOs.

Which did the exact same thing, LOL. I've checked for vacuum leaks etc, etc a million times, been though the ignition system, replaced it in it's entirety, and so on.

Still - does - it.

I've become convinced that I'm going to have to look deeper. I started a thread a bit ago on the subject and there were a couple of "Sounds like the cams aren't timed right" comments.

So, as soon as my racing shop work gets caught up, I'll dive into that.

Sorry for the long, and no commital answer! It runs well when it's floored over 4K to 7K. How's that?
