[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 326943, member: 3278"] Check to see that the carb is going to WOT, there should be a roll pin at the end of the butterfly shaft that you can see go to vertical to verify. I can see the low speed adjustment at the front of the engine. That was around the time the high speed became a fixed jet. Does yours have a high speed needle or a fixed jet? If it has a needle then lightly seat it and go out to around 1 turn. Accelerate and slowly close that needle until your highest RPM is obtained then open the needle just a touch for a little insurance. These are easy checks so please do these and let us know. [/QUOTE]
