Can you raise the slides and secure them in an open position, and make needle access easier?
I use a long individual allen wrench under a nut above the slide that rests on the carb top.
Would a set of Flat Slides fit and potentially perform better than the VM33's on your motor? They sure have made a difference for my engine, considering it had BS34's before. There really is no comparison.
Good luck Steve. She sounds pretty good from here. :woohoo:

It can only be done one way. Not too bad.

I may have to cut my slides to 1.5 cutaway. I hope not.

I may have to file the slides.

Looks like the Libs didn't like over the air music in the background again. This time there's no way to respond. Uploading to a different format.
