Well, it seems I am running lean. it will run pretty good just sitting a reving it up, but when under load as in taking off it bogs and you have to feather the gas to get it to take off smooth. My dad came over last night and helped me check it out. I did notice that no matter how far I turn the fuel pressure reg up it will not get over 2.5 lbs. I know they need only a max of 2 lbs. Maybe a clogged fuel filter? Weak fuel pump? When the engine is reved the fual pressure drops off some. Once the weather gets cold and nasty I plan on pulling the motor and cleaning up the engine bay and changing things up a bit.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I changed the carb inlet fittings to 3/8 from 1/4 because i could not find 1/4 fittings for the fuel pressure guage. So from the reg to the carbs I am running 3/8 hose. This should not matter, right?
