Bill ... It is just magic. You keep "fixing" things until it works and you credit what you fixed as the problem.

My current problem is syncing my carbs. I can sync them for low throttle or high throttle but not both. I think it has to do with the location of the idler shaft and the angles of my linkage rods. Ever since I "fixed" my idler shaft bearings and installed new linkage rods, it has not been right. With all of my tinkering, I now realize that it had never worked correctly and the vibrations I thought was "normal" was in fact a carb sync symptom. Robby is going to send me the measurements from his and I will begin experimenting next week.
