I'm after a 123 ignition dizzy model R-V with vac port .

Hi all ,well after trying some different combos I've ended up with the 118 mains and 58 idles in place .Its not much different to the 115 mains and 58 idles and both combos still give me a small flat spot off idle if you floor the pedal .it smell quite rich to .I suspect there is another issue...

Yeh mate all balanced and synced perfectly . I will try the 60’s later

Default Ok quick update guys.I ordered 58 and 60 size idle jets and tried the 58's this evening . I preset the mixture screws to 3 turns out .Once warm the engine ticked over nicely and so then I tried to dial in the mixture screws .I slowly turned each one a quarter of a turn in but on each one...

It's fine on main jet circuit ,it's an issue with a dead/ flat spot when yo roll off idle. I'm booked in at a rolling road on the 27th but would like to see if I can get rid of this flat spot just off idle beforehand. I had another play tonight and this is what I found I double checked for...
