Thanks for the info, I think I may have found the problem. The venturi I had made was supposed to be drilled for .280. I never measured it till last night and it is acutally around .375. No wonder it needed 8 turns of the needle. I talked to Tom Farmer about this and he picked up on the problem right away pointing me in the right direction. I'll get another venturi turned and try it again. It does have a ton of power with this one though!!!
