100 miles on them. Starting to get some color on the insulators. Pulls stronger through the red line. May be a little rich on the bottom. The 130's were in the carbs when I got them. After correcting all the munged up parts the PO did, the flat spot off idle went away but they were running rich. Went down on the mains to 125 and 60 pilots. Too lean. 65's were better but power fell off. 70's worked well but one clip down on the needles made it too rich. Put them back to the center clips and they cleaned up. Maybe too much. Being summer and HOT, that's the last thing I need. I decided to put the 130's back in. Marked improvement and the color is coming back. Once the engine starts burning correctly, compression comes up and it starts to lean out. If after a couple hundred more miles the soot doesn't go away, I'll go back to the 65's.
One thing at a time.
