Carburetor Question - Is this a good call?

Hey all - had lots of work and other projects in the way. Did get a chance before superbowl to do some investigations. Pics below.

Sounds good...you're making good progress. With the engine off, pull the air filter, look down the primary bores and move the throttle a wee bit to see if you get anything out of the accel. jets...it should squirt even with a very small movement of the throttle. If not, then adjust at the accel pump arm to get that, and if you get fuel, you may have a ignition timing problem.

I did move the throttle and i got that squirt like you described. I'll have to put a timing light on it again but before all this plate nonsense and was where it should be.. (i wrote it down somewhere)

That's called a lean spot.
Have you done a vac test at idle to at least get an idea of the correct range power valve?
What number is on the shooter and what color pump cam? For now you can mess with the pump shot in pumpkin till you get it to roll on the throttle smoothly as for stopping at wide open you're going to have to find out the vacuum rating pick a power valve a couple below that so enough enrichment occurs at wot to cover for the lagging mains to catch up

No vac test yet.. need to get a gauge for it. I researched how it should work with a gauge so i think i can do that test. Color is orange (see pics below) and it looks like its set on #1?

Well that's it then. There's a big jump in position between the green cam and some of the others commonly used. You have to bend the pump arm or you might have to rotate the cam position up. Some cams have 2 holes, others 3. Same with the throttle. it has two countersunk holes. So this allows several positions with any cam.

The orange one i believe has two? I didnt want to mess with it with my super limited knowledge. got more research to do..
