. . . sounds like you're well on your way to reliabilty, always a good thing. Quick question about your
new Weber though, is it a "straight out of the box" carb? . . . i.e. untuned (jetted) for your particular engine?
"SOB" Webers are way rich for our engines and can be significantly improved by
rejetting . . . don't even have to remove the carb from your manifold to do it!
