I know this may sound stupid, but check your firing order too (1 3 4 2). The
first time I ran my engine (20 years ago) after my first rebuild I got
focused on the carbs as being the problem (had never worked with anything but
SUs, and had never even driven a Roadster). The car would run and drive but
was not happy.. it kept sneezing through the carbs. I put 80 miles on the
motor with it running like that. It was not until a friend came by and
questioned the firing order before I realized my mistake... just a thought!

not so much ego that I can't admit when I'm being stupid... :-)

Thanks guys. I am getting a bit punchy. I should know that. I have had
some trouble getting the carbs balanced and the new engine is still popping
and farting. I did find a few nuts on the carb assembly that the mechanic
did not tighten very well. I don' know how he missed them. Tomorrow I am
going to insist he reset the gas/air mixture screw settings and redo the
carb balance. Larry.
