Default RE: Engine tuneup

Yes you may. I use the fuel dots as I stated before. I do not however use any T's. I set up a 3 line fuel tank system. 1 line for a vent which goes to the nipple on the pipe to pressurize the tank. The next line is the fuel feed line to the carb with a clunk on it (make sure you have a good straight length to the carb). & the 3rd line is my fill line going from the fuel dot to the tank which also has a clunk on it. No T's means each fuel line is independent of the others & no flooding of the carb when fueling. When I have it set up like this properly(no kinks or sharp bends) anywhere, it works flawlessly.

I too agree that an APC 11X6 prop is the sweet spot for a .46 engine. It will give you great pulling power, good top end speed & won't over-rev the engine. I hope you hear something in here that will help you.
