Default Re: Carb has too much idle hole drilled?

AHA!

I did the intake test and I got a flickering 0-1 psi(?). There is one and only one vacuum stem and that had the guage on it (slid onto a hose with a clamp) so I guess it is the intake. It must be an intenal leak because I rtv'ed around the intake top earlier and rtv'ed the carb base so it was not leaking from there either. The carb was fully closed.

As long as I will be pulling the intake, I'll heli-coil that annoying stripped thread. Well, at least I know I did the head/intake port correctly and the rockers were a good purchase. That low cylinder pressure still bugs me but well let the "seat of the pants" decide how this project turned out.
