Spark Plug

Now have about 150 miles on my new engine and pulled the #1 plug. Looks rich to me so went a step smaller on the jet but got surging so went back. Timing is 18* at idle and max 30* at 3000. Plugs are NGK-BKR5E-11. Not sure if I need to go a step hotter on the plugs?

30 is probably high at that rpm.

Vacuum advance?

You may need to change the metering rods to keep it slightly fatter at a cruise.
