Thanks I'll get it out to a lake and take her for a rip soon plugs look ok I should get it in for a carb synch oil pump check when I pulled the bowls there was dark fuel in there.

I think this is what the reed stopper notch or reed spacers helped with if i remember right. Any confirmation on this?

the red head engines have a mid range burble in them and its amplified when it cold. let her warm up and get a set of reed spacersand i think dropping the needle a bit helps, it will almost be gone.

Thanks where can I get reed spacers and how many clips from needle top? Thanks

Royal distributing or make your own, it's not too hard. I can't remember on the needles. I think Turk recommended something in the tech section in the clutching pages for needles and jetting
