Thanks Casey, I'll admit I'm still learning lots here and you can add carb tuning to that list.
As for the Eddy, I'm fairly confident its clean(carter vs eddy swap=same symptoms).
What I did to Eddy after installing kit was set transition slots square, set choke flap to 3/64" and set IMS at approx 2-2 1/4" inches out(basing it on rpm change).
Definitely not done tuning carb, I'll take a look at it in the morning.
