Chris at WCAC has replaced the carb cam spring on the accelerator pump and rejetted it. After some fine tuning she is running even better.

He said it looks like the shop that built the motor just slapped the Quickfuel carb on there right out of the box. It has the stock jets (50s and 65s). He is trying 65s & 80s to see how those work. They also had the timing at 32* whith really tight spring which he feels was too conservative for this cam / heads set up. Chris thinks there is more he can get out of the motor which is great. Out of the box it dynoed 470 / 517 so more is mo better


He went to take it for a drive yesterday and one of the power steering hoses blew.

Ordered a new one along with a new fuel sending unit since it isn't reading. Maiden voyage should be later today giving him a chance to identify any bugs, season the brakes and play with the jetting some more.

Plan on heading up Friday to take her for a rip.
