    hmm

     



    how bout this.... the carb has vacuum secondaries. the do not open. could this be the cause of not dieing under load? they dont even budge. i want to put a diferent spring, but if they do not budge i am thinking that they may be stuck??
    is there a diferent solution to the spring like riging it up to be mechanical??
    thx
