<DIV>My carbs are open. You say there is no lack of air. I didn't tell you I
live 110 deg. weather. Would there be a lack of cold air, or does it
matter?</DIV>
<DIV>I did the jetting with help from Bergs. </DIV>

<DIV>Spark plugs are running nice med. brown.</DIV>
<DIV>Symptoms are vapor lock after I turn it off, sometimes boiling in carb
floats. Which gets me to believe I'm running a bit hotter then I would
like. So I wanted ask if there is tips on running cooler with this set up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry if I didn't post right. Don't want to ofend anyone. </DIV>

I<BR>> believe that my carbs are not getting enough air at higher rpms and
maybe at<BR>> low too. My question is; How do I get more air into the
engine compartment<BR>> corectly? <BR><BR>With all due respect, I believe
you're barking up the wrong tree. Those carbs <BR>are plenty big, and with
those carbs I don't think you can be using the stock <BR>air cleaner and
ducting, so they must be completely open. There is no lack of <BR>air in the
engine compartment. <BR><BR>What are your symptoms and why do you
suspect that they are caused by lack of <BR>air? Is it possible that your
jetting is just too rich? That might seem like a <BR>"lack of air" but the
solution is correct jetting.<BR><BR>Keep in mind that any aftermarket carb you
buy will need to be rejetted after <BR>you put it on your engine. (Yes, I
know, the people who sold you the carbs <BR>didn't tell you this.
Sorry.)<BR><BR>PS: Thanks for changing the subject line to something
appropriate, but you <BR>should also have deleted all the irrelevant verbage
from the previous post.<BR><BR>-- <BR>Jim Adney<BR><A
