Loosened the tach clamp and rotated the steering column collar to turn the backup lamps off. Dug thru all my crap looking for a stiffer vacumn secondary spring for the carb. Found two in a parts bin but the one that was stiffer didn't make much of a difference. I've ordered more from Summit but I can see in my mind a package of them I have seen a million times here but damned if I can find them.

Double check initial timing and total mechanical advance...it needs to work in synch with the carb. All in by 3,000...

Somewhere I have a set of carb gears to help those secondaries

Very cool ride
