Hi Ozting, just nearing the end of a 2 year restoration. Sounds like I've got a similar setup to you i.e. a pair of 2" Jag carbs. I'm using BAR type needles which is what most folks seem to recommend. The previous needles were also BAR type but they had been filed flat (wheover did it didn't use a lathe like youre supposed to so they weren't round), and that damaged the jets, so I both the replaced needles and jets. I was just about to start tuning (or attempting anyway) when the starter died on me, so I'm sorting that out at the moment. Some folks seem to think this carb setup is a lot for a 2.8, but I think I've got a trick cam (will check this when I get a gasket) and according to the wisdom of the crowds it should run a little too rich at idle and low revs but should run best when the revs build up. Anyway, when I'm up and running I'll let you know how it works out. I can upload some pics of my setup if you like. Good luck! Nick
