Finally got to test and tune

Weather finally cooperated and got to test my new carb from AED and fuel system setup. I was pleased, ran 6.59 first pass, then 6.568, 6.571, and 6.578. Got a short vid of one pass.

In good weather it ran in the mid 6.60's to low 70's. The best it had ran before was a 6.622 and that was in real cool weather. The track wasnt the best in the world today either and it was cloudy and rained some towards the end.
