No I have no problems yet haven't installed the carter 4699S my question was that can I set it up like a car and use a vacuum gage and obtain th highest reading and of course set the correct RPM, and timming. Thanks bob
Keep in mind that you'll have two entirely different fuel metering circuits......... yea rich is allways a little better to lean you can run hotter & burn things.
..."Generally speaking, backfiring is out of the exhaust only. "Coughing" or "Spitting" is what's referred to as coming out of the carb."
Correct. Been using the wrong word for years!
