I finally had some time to burn my first fuel this weekend and it all went through the 53. All the mixture and regulator settings needed to be changed. I got the rotary valve a bit on the tight side and experienced a little "black goo" out the exhaust. It cleaned up in about 4 ounces of fuel. I'm still not 100% happy with the idle but am closing in on it. Sunday morning it was about 200% humidity so tuning was at best difficult. In the afternoon it was 90F+ so again tuning was a bit off. I'm at about 2300 RPM reliably but it surges just a bit.

Power seems to be as good or better than before. I neglected to tach the top end (my bad) but it is a moot point as I didn't have a tach untill this past winter when the engine had already been torn down for repairs. So far I'm happy.
