well if your pipe is sooty then it is not lean ! Sounds more like your drowning it.

I agree, far too much fuel at top end can give same symptoms as not enough , it is quite possible that the air correction jets are too small, they
should have been enlarged as well, max for the main jet should be about 137
Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54  |
