I'm having trouble with the GAV in my 29. I have been plagued with a hard to turn GAV since day one. I think I now have it where I want it. Not too loose or to tight. Problem is, the GAV doesn't seem to make any difference any more. Does not seem to change anything no matter where I put it, totally closed or two turns out. All jets and passages have been checked, and are clear.
The only thing I could find when checking it out was the Comp Jet was loose. I took care of that as well as cleaned everthing but now.....no adjustment.

The reason I pulled the carb was the lack of adjustment.
