Yea...we had a few issues with the carb too...rejetted multiple times and tried a different power valve which helped a bit.
Once the pickup coil got changed out it seems the car ran better than before so that was possibly acting up along with the carb and making the jetting issues seem even worse.

Didn't miss a beat on the way home though!

We had our buddy John hanging out with us on the road too and he was also about an hour behind on the way back.
That made it a little more comfortable in case of problems.

We got to the "Lick a Chick" take out in North Sydney just 10 minutes ahead of him so it all worked out perfect!

Looked great..heard good things..Wish I could have been there....Thanks Fitzee.

Hackerbilt · 07-18-2012, 09:27 PM

Man...that sucks how we keep hearing about people who were around...after the show is over!
We tried to get a list of people who would be around but it went under the radar!

I was there but forgot the camera in the hotel room. I ran into flatheadfever for a second. I didn't see the post about hambers going until after I got home. We should try to get organized next year and meet up somewhere.
