Carlos- Have you been able to reach CE and find out anything more? It would be nice to know exactly what heads are on it. Oh- just went up and re-read your parts list, Carlos, and you mentioned a 1 1/2" exhaust, so I'll bet the heads are Tims Stage 1's with 40x35mm valves. Do you know the compression ratio?

 

Frank- Adjust the accelerator pumps and see if it helps. Great to hear going down in main jet size improved the mileage; did you notice an increase in power at all? Have you tried a size smaller idle jets yet?

 

 

 

One of these days I'm going to go from the 60s down to 55s and see what that does. Mine acts just like Carlos car maybe not quite as rich. It's pretty close now, I need to look at a couple of plugs to see how rich.  Then mess with the accelerator pumps. One big improvement was going from a Mister Gasket cheap fuel regulator where pressure was all over the place to a Malpassi Regulator.  Now it holds exactly at 2.5 psi all the time and is noticeably smoother at low speeds.
