ok, so I took everything apart and have some pictures. Everything looks really clean. The carb looked good and the orings look brand new. Flushed the whole carb out with denatured alcohol and some air. No dirt came out and looks as good as new. The piston and sleeve looked pretty good, no signs of cracks, sleeve is really smooth, etc.... I have a picture of the farthest i could push the piston up the sleeve and is really tight at the top still.

The only thing I saw that might cause a problem is one of the shims on the head button was a little rough looking. I had some shims so I put new ones on it and at .80 for now as I do not have the shim to go .70 right now. Maybe not sealing good and the top of the sleeve is a little nicked but it ran fine for 3 race weekends like that. I am going to put it back together and go to the track Wed. night and bring the carb on the P5 and see if it does it or not and switch to p5 carb if it does.Pictures are not the greatest but hopefully it helps.
