Grumpy??
how do I know the carbs power valves working?
why not use the correct test tools?
as a general rule you take engines cruise vacuum at about 2000 rpm average it with the idle vacume , lets say ones 17 " of vacuum and the others 19" you take the average which in this case would be 18" add about 2" to the average so you have 20" divide that in 1/2 and youll pick the next higher power valve or in this case a #10.5
lets say the readings are 9" and 11" average is 10" add 2" get 12" , 1/2 thats 6" so you start with a #6.5
