Re: annoyed help. (carb set up)

Are you sure the secondaries are working? I had a motor very similar to that and it was very picky with the Timing. Had to run the lightest springs I could find. But if your losing power I'd try another Carb and see if it fixes the problem. I had a couple carbs where the secondaries wouldn't work and it would fall on its face around 4k

Get an Air/Fuel gage connected in and see what happens at 4k. It may not even be fuel related.
