Nothing too serious. I did a fairly large hp build (hopefully around 425) and converted to a roller drive train.

I ordered a new carb that should eliminate the first problem and think the second problem might be due to improper length pushrods. So I bought a new intake (just because, lol) and when I'm swapping it out I'm going to check the push rod length and then order the proper ones if mine are incorrect. Should be fun once it's running properly. Always something to fix on a toy!
