I did check valvetrain geometry and it looked good but I might open up one of the valve covers again and double check the pushrods, check if they are steel or aluminum. I'm getting a lot of noise when it's warm so I'm thinking steel or chromoly pushrods. I wanted to run the motor as is since it was already dynoed with this combo and everything is pretty new.
I'm still dialing in the carbs but I'm stunned by the sound of a 2276 at full song in the mountains. I don't think I've turned the radio on yet. This motor loves to rev and once the carbs are properly balanced it'll really sing! The power is great too, it's not all there yet but very light throttle cruising through the mountains should help out the milage a bit (I hope). Despite the exhaust being too small I think it's really helped the low end torque, it's like a tractor at low revs. At high revs it keeps winding out but the power's not there.
So far the issue's are :
1. found a small leak on the 1-2 carb accelerator pump, need to pull and fix
2. 1-2 carb accelerator pump doesn't open at the same rate as the 3-4 side
3. Wrong idle adjustment screw and spring on the 1-2 carb
4. Get thermo switch for oil cooler fan, right now it's wired to the rear defrost relay
Carb info for the curious is .60 idles, 1.35 mains, F11 tubes, 2.00 airs, and 36 vents, which is "by the book" in the weber manual for this motor.
