Well I wasnt paranoid. Started strong but as time went on it started to flatline again, same spot. Im really lost now again on whats happening. Gonna check out the petcock next and then I gotta get a carb sync tool.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

What rpm range would the needles affect? New theory is since I can go through 4th gear top rpms,  maybe the richness? Getting horrible mileage also
