Only thing is with the long needle carb like these I have to remember to richen the HSN after getting the LSN\idle gap leaned properly.

It's a delicate dance compared to the short LSN carbs and I'm not used to it......not quite yet.

Thanks for the help
I am not quite used to it yet as well. That is why I am tuning the HSN first which sets the inlet flow for all speeds. Then the idle air and fuel are based on the HSN settings.

The manual describes the break in process and then tuning after of the HSN. The process is a little flawed. I think they need to change this process. The HSN should be tunied first.
