Oh yea, I changed the high speed air bleeds down 3 sizes , and removed the 2" carb spacers, that helped, but still to lean WOT as you can see. I want it to be near 11-10.9. As it probley best for this old boat. Any ideas would be greatly apracheaed. Lol how do you Like my spelling ? Also, the 1973 Lyman seabring is purring like a kitten ! Took some deep masaging! Still have less the 150$ into her, will do sea trial this spring.

A lot of times lean @ WOT can be cured with the power valves, you need to make sure that they are not closed, blowers like those create a bunch of vacuum at the carb that can close the power valve when you need it the most

I’m working with a shop that did the modifications , they do mainly drag racing cars. I’m sure they will keep helping me. Any one have any suggestions that may help steer us in the right direction?
