Well, I watched it.
I guess after reading all the posts here I was expecting the worst.
In my mind, the main thing I was surprised at was how long it took to check the distributor phasing.
As for the carb woes, If it had been an engine that had one carb, he would have just swapped it out for one of his shop carbs, and done some testing.
Chit can happen when an unknown engine shows up, and you expect things to be a certain way, and it turns out they’re not that way.
Not all dyno sessions go off without a hitch.
Looks like they’ve decided to squeeze at least one more video out of that thing.
