Everything else looked good so I reset the float and will be putting the carb back on today, if that doesn't fix the issue I will probably end up pulling the cam and reinstalling the stock one.
I thought you had said in a previous post (post 18 on 1st page) vacuum was 15 at idle with current cam (18 with stock)? Now it's 10?
Any chance you can post pics of spark plugs? I would be looking into carb and ign timing.
