Yep, I tried lowering the idle and adjusting the mixture........didn't work.
I probably have to adjust the butterflies to expose more of the transfer slot on the secondaries but as long as it idles fine the way it is , do I really need to mess with the transfer slot? I'm trying to avoid taking the carb off, flipping it upsidedown and all the stuff unless there're a performance gain to be had.......
No, it's not a huge cam but the XE series cams have more aggressive ramp rates compared to the comparable cams of the Magnum series.
The numbers make them look small but the engine is made to think it's bigger than it actually is......but that's for another discussion.
