Re: Carb tuning - "spitting"....sometimes referred to as "standoff".

Explains the bogging off the line if I don't rev the motor up a bit. The
carbs are giving the proper fuel, but the engine just can't suck it in.

My solution is to just blip the throttle before taking off, and it seems
to work better.

Here again, Chris...

Not abnormal with hairier cams.

The hairier cams have low vacuum in
the lower rpm ranges. The fuel/air is
available immediately but the engine
cannot efficiently use all that is there
at that particular point in time and rpm.
