ok, so trans issues and coolant issues aside, i've run into another issue. a really, really rich carb.
specs: crate 302, e-cam, gt40-P iron heads, 625 road demon, 1.7 rockers, air gap rpm intake, msd ready to run dist.
carb was bolted on right out of the box. i've now fouled a 2nd set of plugs......black - just black - all 8 of 'em, not a tan one in the bunch. exhaust is really, really strong and i haven't had a really smooth run yet. only smooth run was when i put the new plugs in there and it ran really smooth for a short time only, then sputtered.
4 idle mixture screws...sac69 and i turned them all in, then back out 1 1/2 turns. tomorrow, i'll turn them all the way in, then start 1/4 turn out and work my way out.
any other suggestions? from other blogs, some have said it's not a jetting issue. i'll re-read the material that came with the carb and see if reducing the jets may help too.
thanks.
