Re: My carb hates me.

So I figured it out. I figured my A/F screws were in the right spot from my previous setup, it was out 2 1/2 turns. I thought I might as well try turning it in some. I turned it 2 full turns from being set, and low and behold it idled and revved up like nothing! I was in a hurry, so I didn't plug my vac. gage in for long, just enough to where it was steady at 19 Hg.
One thing I noticed is that when I'm at about 1200 rpms or so and I let off the gas, it grumbles a little bit. It sounds kinda cool, but I'm probably running too rich. I'll use my vac. gage more tomorrow and get it right. I also "checked" my gas mileage, and a very rough estimate is at least 15, but I'm thinking it's a little more.
Sorry for my grumbling, but I was absolutely stumped.
I also checked out some Webers. I'm glad I didn't buy one, I guess they can be a bear to tune.
