    Gas pedal/full throttle

    If you unhook the throttle cable, can you manually open the throttle on the carb or does it feel like it's sticking? If not, it's the cable or the bracket, or the return spring is tight as hell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I ran a mr. Gasket inline pressure regulator and set it on 3, gauge on the fuel rail has been reading about 6.5... Seems to like it. I still think it needs some more tuning .... Timing and mixture maybe... Pressure regulator stopped the bouncing fuel pressure gauge and excessive flooding...
