**73 Scamp Mini Pro-Street Engine Swap**

NOS is all installed. Had a few issues with the rear needle and seat adjustment. The rear float bowl was playing with us today and the car was acting as if it had a vacuum leak. It would not idle so we cranked up the idle set screw to keep it running. Couldn't figure it out so off comes the carb to check and replace the gaskets and tighten up the base plate screws. All looked fine so it goes back together. I told Pete I believe the rear bowl is going dry so he hits the rear pump shot and it's it squirts fine. He kept saying that's not the problem...... It can't be.....I pull the rear site plug and shake the car , no fuel coming out look in with a light shake the car more can't see fuel through the site plug....hmmm so fire the fuel pump back on and reset the rear floats. It is really touchy for some reason. So fire the car back up and it is idling rock steady at 2200rpm, back off the idle set screw it is idling perfect at about 900-1000 rpm. Throttle response is crisp and clean again! Pete was tripping saying he has never seen a low float act like a Vacuum leak... Vacuum leak diagnosis was completely wrong but it sure acted just like one.

So the NOS is all installed and working. I armed the system with the bottle on and hit the purge to clear the line good. I then brought the rpm's up to 3k and smacked the buttun briefly a couple times. It instantly Rev's to over 5K with just a quick tap on the button. We started out with a 150 tune up, timing is all in at 34* and it's taking out 4* of timing on the hit. VP 110 is in the little cell and ready to go. We dd not have time to do any test hits. I may get out there tomorrow for a few. :burnout:
