Thanks again for the replies. I had a chance to drive it instead of just throttling in the driveway. I bumped up my initial to about 19* as suggested (I have not forgot about adjusting my total back down) and drove the car a few miles. I pulled a few plugs to inspect and they don’t look lean from what I know.

• I pulled the carb again and verified the 172 throttle blades so it's truely an 830 cfm carb.

• Negative on the brown cams and 50 cc pumps. I don’t know what color to call them so here is a pic. They have 218 cast into them. These are 30 cc pumps. The borrowed tuning kit does have a set of 218's also but they are a natural plastic off white kind of color.

• There are also the 50 cc brown cams available in the tuning kit and I have a new 50 cc acc pump that came with the rebuild kit but the housing I do not have.

• Regarding the front only- I then install some 84 jets in just because it seemed cold natured and it liked the 80 to 82 change previously along with the 31 to 37 squirter change. While it just seemed cold natured the plugs tell a different story though, if they are an accurate sign. I only fired it up to check for leaks and then had to quit but brief throttling while cold showed no change so I think I went the wrong direction?

• Suggestions?
