haven't checked compression yet. was not able to find a vacuum leak but did not check the bottom of intake, maybe this weekend. was setting the fast idle and when choking the rear carb, it would run rough as expected but front made no difference at all. engine has a slight miss that I've chased since installed! not bad, but its there. second set of carbs but same intake, replaced distributor, have tried different advance curves and jetting in both extremes and just wont smooth out and have crisp throttle response. I am ready to pull the head and send it off, just hate to do that if the problem is elsewhere.
