Charlie ny, when re-building the carbs, I was given kits from Speedway. I did not use any of their parts....the supposedly .045 replacement jets miked at .047 - .048 Some other brass machined pieces would not engage the threads properly....originals worked just fine. The cheaper kits are not worth paper....and I do not want to damage good original 97 bodies. ( get the real Stromberg parts ) Present jets are actual .045 and I am waiting to go to .042. A local shop that recently did a similar duel set-up did mention that the plugs were rich also. They changed to power valve and this made the engine run smoother and the plugs went from black to a clean brown. They also mentioned that the sound of the engine changed…..to the better. So, could the power valves be the answer…..I have some on order…..Thks..Robert
