RE: tuning motor for performance problem. Monster GT
I'd still give Associated a call and let them know. If the primer ball limited the fuel you're getting, I'd be concerned that this happened during the break in process and ran it too lean.
I also have a new MGT and haven't started the break in yet. I just checked my primer ball and it has A to B going in the direction from the fuel tank to the carb. So this one looks alright.
