For all I know Engine Rebuilders didn't take good care of the rebuild because of conflicting interests.
It pulls better but it still comes up somewhat short on the high end. After getting much help here and throwing a fuel pump and valve adjustment at it, I'm really starting to lean toward the carb not getting sufficient airflow, if I didn't know any better, I'm not sure the secondaries are even opening, I never hear them. The scoop when closed over the air cleaner completely seals the air cleaner. Plus with all the engine heat rising to the top, it would almost make sense.
Thanks for all the help.
