Ahh yes, that plugged breather... I forgot to mess with that. How do i get the old flame trap thingy out of there? As for the carbs, nope, i haven't balanced them at all, they seem to be perfectly matched as it is. There's no hesitation right off idle, i can peg it(well, almost) and it will instantly rev up, much better than the weber crap ever did. It's just after that initial throttle tip in, at very light throttle that it acts a little funny. I don't think it could be much better, but yeah, I haven't messed with them at all. I'll try that half turn clockwise, and try and figure out how to get out the flame trap. Also, something to poing out that may be of interest, is the fact that the cylinder that had the highest compression before we ran the motor had the LOOSEST valves... Which was about adjusted to .020 compared to the .016 i'd say i have mine adjusted to.
