At least it is not a big cloud of black smoke like it used to be. I don't think they ever get perfectly clean with these cams.

It will be easy to go to "3 stages" lean, just by re-installing the original rods and leaving the .092 jet in. I assumed you watched the video.

Congrats on successfully tuning your carb! Yes it's easy to change metering rods now for rich/lean modification. The different color springs have a vacuum rating for further tuning.  :2thumbs:

yep, they usually need to be richer to idle well, particularly when coldish, than a stock cam requires :)
