Yeah, Pat Downs told me that the “new” horizontal discharge tube kit (as opposed to mine from 1998) is more suited to stock venturiis and seems to work better. For me, I’ve got this thing running like the proverbial Swiss Watch and am not gonna change anything.
Well, actually, to that point, I thought it was lacking a bit more idle circuit “kick” when you stomp on it and my elCheapo whatever-band gauge was showing me a very slight leaning swing (although way less than what it used to have) so I cranked up the accelerator pump strokes a tad and that gave me perfection - PERFECTION!!! Dave told me I might have to do that, too. I suppose the difference was due to the carbs both being originally tuned on a different engine. That’s my story and I’m stickin to it.
Now, I can take off gently with zero hesitation whatever, then can accelerate smoothly in any gear with no lag up to where the Mains cut in and the heads really start to flow and then....... I LOVE IT!!!!! 💕 It is a gentler car to drive but can still take off like a rocket if you really get on it. Best of both worlds.
Pearl is absolutely fun to drive again!!
