So I got these webers on my bus and I'm getting ready to go back together with it all as soon as my heads come back. Any tips on tuning/synching? anyone want to come over one day and walk me through the process? I was wondering about putting bigger main jets in them. according to the PO I have 130 main jets and 200 idle jets. I was told bigger jets help keep down the heat in the cylinder heads? any thoughts on this? anything that helps keep these type 4 heads cool is a good thing...

Sounds like a plan... Are they hard to install? Screw in? Press in?

Bought some bigger jets for my carbs today. Kinda uncharted territory for me. I like a challenge though. We'll see how it turns out.
