I would check the sync for your carbs first if its not that then look at ign. timing then for vacuum leaks but there probably out of sync. My experience is with webers your carbs are similar in most ways but you need to find a good book on them........Marty
yay! I got myself one hellufa parts car today! The guy selling it rear-ended someone and just wanted to get rid of it. even though it may not look like it, it drives great and is super fast! Yay! (Gloat, Gloat) =)

my only problem is that the car won't idle quite right. It Idles rough and at about 2000 rpm. I'm thinking it's the carbs (Mikuni 44PHH). I was wondering if anybody could steer me in the right way in how to tune these things? any help will be greatly apreciated

New everything when Ireland engineering built the
engine

Brakes:

all the other parts i forgot to mention have replaced
two day old shoes in the rear

Drivetrain:

5-speed trans.
new clutch when the engine was done
and slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder

Others:

There is more but I can't think of it right now

Thanks again for any info with the carbs,

Follow all that good advice from the others, but if you want to delve further, I have an almost-complete Mikuni manual in Xerox form. I could reXerox it if you want a (blury)copy and send me a SSAE to mail it in. Contact me off-board.
