Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Conflicting as to setting the carb floats

Post by Avidrider62 »

Bill Overton and Carl Leo mention two different ways. Put the carbs, flat (floats up) and carbs at an angle as to where the needle just touches the seat. Two different results. 17mm is the norm , Bill says about 18mm , to avoid rich.

When I do the carbs I set them to 18MM. holding the carb sideways so the float is just touching the needle lightly
I be leave that's what Carl recommends.
