torqhead,
Believe me...I appreciate anyone that is willing to provide their experience and knowledge. Before the motor was sent to me, I had a long conversation with Jeff regarding the elevation of Virginia compared to Arizona. I was kind of laughing because he was mentioning sea level, temperature, humidity and I had no clue how any of that played into a carb. He said he was getting some information from a local airport and that he would adjust the carb to being in Virginia. I appreciate you taking the time to contribute.
One thing to point out that may be important. The knocking noise sounds the same with Jeff Koerners carburetor as it did with the Street Avenger that was on the car before.
JLMounce (Jason),
You make great points. We haven't checked the coil. That's something that Jeff brought up is for us to look at what I'm using now compared to what was not used in the dyno. That's the coil and the fuel pump. We will check out the coil but we did run a mechanics stethoscope on the fuel pump but there was no signature on the fuel pump. If we take the logic of checking what I am using now compared to what was not at the dyno, how could the distributor bushing be that damaged causing damage to the bearings, piston rings? The noise is the same as before.
