Re: carb problems
Do you have a fuel pressure regulator? What PSI are you getting at the carb?

Re: carb problems
just got that problem figured out and got it running. its running really rich i have it set to 7 psi. i was wondering what a good jet size to put in it would be to get it running halfway decent to start tweeking everything. im running e 85 in this motor

What carb are you running?
If you search this forum for "e85", you'll find an extensive thread that includes jetting information.
Of course, it takes more than jetting to get it to run correctly.
