And come to think abt it that's when i went from .020" shims to .012" shims because somebody else that raced one told me the RB manual said .012"(.3mm) was the proper shimming.

dont , give up on it i have a rb s5 and im on my second gallon and somehow got it to run and start and run about 235 @.

i run the stock shims because i run 20% ebmods race blead.
