Domenic, Just a thought your power problem may be due to induction pulselimiting. That is the reason we used to be able to drive the old lowhorsepower VW beetles wide open and they would turn so many rpm. Justsomething to think about. J Mc. My carb>is mounted under the engine hanging on a 1/8th plate alum. bolted to 4 of>the oil pan bolts. I have a welded tube(2") coming off the top end of the>carb (90 degrees) then it procedes back just past the pulley with another>(90 degree) bend with a short extention to the 1 1/2 " 'Y' split. the>runners after the split are made of electrical thin wall tube conduit witha>nice gentle 90 degree bend. These are terminated at the intake boss where>the old carbs were mounted. The reason I mounted the carb under the engine>is the same reason all aircraft carbs are mounted underneath... to prevent>fuel fires. This way any excess fuel can run off through the air box.________________________________________________________________________________
