Have never changed the jets so im guessing factory.

What is the best way to check full advance timing? I think that maybe part of my issue i just dont know a safe way of doin it

Accel pump carbs had .072 mains, .034 progression, .052 idle air jets.
non pump carbs, .068 main, .050 progression, .070 idle air jets.
only 1 idle air jet per carb on stbd side.
I see your in Calgary who did the rebuild?

If you go to your cabin Radium way and still are not 100% sure on timing or jetting, I live 10km north 93-95 junct and parents have cabin on Winermere Lake. Used to have 2.5 Carb, still have tools and manuals. If wan't a hand and spend a day checkin etc have some smaller props as well. Give me a call 250-347-0094, not working so have lots of time on my hands.
