OK guys, I was able to get my Reedy to it's first race this past weekend and had nothing but trouble.

Friday I had what apeared to be a lowend lean bog. I kept richening the LSN til it was almost 5 turns out before I could get it to have a somewhat crisp bottom. The HSN is set at 2.5 turns out at this point giving a decent topend. running 260-270*

Sat. 1st qual it starts the same thing lean bog or just a bog on the bottem end (could barely clear a single obstical that had a short run up) Had Team driver Chad Parks take a look at it, he tweak on the needles for a bit and got it back to where I thought it was on Friday, go out 2nd qual same thing

Engine got pulled after that.

Carb is sealed top and bottom of gasket, front bearing dosen't seem to be leaking any more than any other engine I've ever owned.

Am I just way off on my carb settings? Could there be a defect in my engine?

I've sent an e-mail to AE, waiting on a reply.
