Dan, Just trying to find a good ballpark. I will try to get it halfway opened. I should be able to do that in the driveway with a paperclip on the linkage. Testing is great, but getting quality testing done is, as you know, takes alot of time. Thanks

Brian, glad you out racing finally, hoping for the best. On the carb, remember the secondary's work on velocity of air thru the primary's, so if two stepping at around 3000-4000 there might not be enough air flow to pull the secondary's open. Don't forget to restrict the channel branching into the secondary's (better signal). More to come, we'll talk pm

Made some progress. I've got the secondary actually opening somewhere on the run and have discovered that the secondary is worth at least .80 over just the primaries.

and thanks Danny for the advice and for the tow back to the pits from the top end(blown fuse)

got alot of work to do
