sounds good, i cant really get it to idle, i got it to start twice by messing with the mixtures, it sounded like it was running on 2 cyllinders to me but that might be the sound when its outa wack. i finally put my sending unit for my oil pressure gauge, i should have all my gauges in this week too. but having real trouble with the kads :help:

We'll get 'em going! Probably just needs to be synched and adjusted, it's always a little tough when starting from scratch like that, where everything of all out of whack.

really appreciate it, i like the looks of the duals, it makes the engine look alot cleaner, you can really point out all the accessaries, i dont know how people can get the kads in their sadans and adjust the idle mixture, its really hard to get to the left carb on mine

Yeah, Kostya used to carry around two different screwdrivers in his car: one for the left carb and one for the right, lol

yea im starting to go nuts not driving my car. Just when it doesnt run I start seeing everyone drive in their bug with big smiles on their faces :shock: It will be fun if we can get that guy over this weekend. Hopefully it wont rain this weekend. Are you going to use your old gaskets on your carb?

It will be worth the wait when we get it going, should be a lot peppier with the kads. 8-)
Yeah, I usually re-use carb gaskets many times, as long as they aren't starting to come apart.
