  2. Thanks for checking. The rings are ITM and they have different shape from Grant. They have the word "TOP" labelled so they are difficult to install incorrectly. Also, I did not clock the 2nd and top rings for installation. I rotated them for the photo to show how clean the lands were.
  3. I'll be in Portland next week. Anyone around?

    Nice video for calibrating torque wrench. Additional info not in the video: you can calibrate the digital weight scale by hanging target weight on it and zeroing it at this target. you can verify the digital weight scale's accuracy by hanging known weights from it and noting deviation. Test in store with 20 lb weight when purchasing.

    They were incompetent from the start to make parts that do not fit and call them performance parts. I wonder what else is wrong with them.

    I do the same but with two steps: 1. Make sure the top of the float is parallel with the metal beam attached to its top. 2. With the lid off, upside down, and in front of your face, blow into the gas inlet while moving the float. It should block your breath when the metal beam is parallel to the top of the lid. If not, bend tang until you get it right,

    I guess I am old school. I just like to only see the markings on the instrument illuminated, not the face or the enclosure. Like this: Not this:

    Some tips: - fuel rail only flows one way, as well as pump and most filters, make sure flow is correct through all. - you can quickly prime carbs by pouring fuel through fuel bowl vents to get it running quickly. - run outlet of fuel rail to container to verify fuel flow into container when cranking.

  17. You could use this setting as a baseline for a few days and then give the jets a further 1/2 turn down to see if it runs better after you have a feel for the baseline.
  18. So 3 DCOE's w/o manifold for 3 ITB's?
