I spoke with AED and they are concerned about the carb and believe something is internally wrong. They felt that when i drilled the restrictor it should now be pig rich and since it isn't they want me to send the carb back to them so's they can have a looksee. I would like to send them the whole car - they are under 3hrs away, i am discussing this with the owner and we'll figure it out today.
Thanks guys, i'll keep you posted. oj
