Advance and AFM are next on the list to get confirmed, should get a chance shortly when work slows down a bit. Will be sure to keep the thread updated. Cheers Luke

Hey fellas, I've just joined from Brisbane, Australia after finding this thread and the numerous posts of infomation, so thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. My current setup is an L24 with a stage 2 cam, triple 45DCOE 152's, match ported E88 head with 6-2-1 headers into an 18inch resonator with a 2.25inch exhaust and flow through muffler. At 3500-6500rpm it had a good punch to it but anything below was rough. It really needed to be edged up slowly then you could cut loose after 3500rpm. So the setup then was: 160 Air 130 Main F11 Emu 50F9 Idle 45 Pump 32 chokes I thought that the idle could have needed a boost to overcome that initial lag spot.... however I was so WRONG! When I ordered and fitted a set of 55F2, I barely made it around the block. It coughed and popped like a hairy goat, a rough bloody ride to say the least. I went back to the 50F9 and started from square 1. I removed all the throttle linkages, backed off all the idle screws and gave them a quarter turn after they just engaged. Then soft seated all the idle mixture screws and gave them 2 turns out. I changed my air correctors to 180 as they were part of the order and also to see if I was running too rich before and if not these would have told me. So setting the idle, balancing the carbies and mixtures we were ready for a run. Well this idle adjustment certainly made a big difference down low. It now pulls from 2500rpm with no problems. I though it was the jets but seemed to be a mixture issue. I went with the 180 air as well as I kept reading the ball park "choke size x 4" then "+50 for air" to see if this was going to run ok... and it does. After a glorious afternoon doing highway runs and take offs I am happy, in fact very happy with the outcome. It's not perfect as you can always tinker with these thing until the sun comes up but thanks for the help so far guys, I really appreciate it. So my final settings were: 180 Air 130 Main F11 Emu 50F9 Idle 45 Pump 32 chokes Cheers Luke
