Pulled the 600 apart cleaned it up really good helped but im going to have to get some metering rods and jets for it. But hey I took it down the road and if I feather the gas it really comes to life.

Is it giving a good, strong shot from the the accelerator nozzles? Did moving the linkage to the top hole in the pump arm make a difference? A bog or hesitation off idle is almost always a lean condition. The pump plunger went bad on my 500 and it had a bad stumble. Getting the pump shot right with the Offy C and its big, open plenum is crucial.

Do you have any source of heat for the bottom of the intake? It makes a big difference even during the summer down here in Texas.

Where is the base timing set? Vacuum advance hooked to ported or manifold vacuum source?

Getting a good shot from the pump forgot to move holes on the pump arm. I haven't finished the plate for heat just yet ill do that at work tomorrow. I don't know what the base timing is just used a vac gauge to set it. Vac advance is hooked to carb. didn't know weather to hook it to carb. or intake.
