carb questions

[Tom Wheeler]

Thanks Charles, I have the 2.5 turns, they were ~4 turns from whoever had them off before me. I will put back the original springs, hello all 16 screws... I thought the nipples for the synching were the ones that go to the diaphram coming off the valve cover (pretty small hose size) vs the 5/16 the fuel supply line.  These are the 5/16 size.  Anyhow, I will cap them off.  When I turned the carbs over they are where the fuel came out, so I really don't like the idea that they are letting junk in the fuel system the way they are.

I got it dryed up and did a compression test, and it was fine.  I noticed the vacuum switch was in the middle (my 2 year old has been playing in the garage).   Anyhow, I placed the jets, rods and springs.  Someone else had the screws uncovered from before, and they were 4 turns out vs the 2.5 the instructions say to do.  Before I put them back on, anyone have any tips to make this work the best possible way?  No exhaust mods, so I used the smaller jets included. Also, I didn't notice these before, but there are 2 plastic nipples, one between 1 and 2 and one between 3 and 4.  They aren't hooked up to anything I can tell.  Seems weird and just wanted to know if they were supposed to be wide open like that. Thanks Tom Louisville
