Thanks. I know there is a hole in the damper cap to allow for over filling b=
ut there is no oil coming out from there or I would be wiping the domes. I f=
ill to the inside collar line and it is a routine check point if sitting for=
a week or two. They always require more. There is some oil in there and I k=
now for perfection both carbs should have equal amounts within reason. For t=
he life of me cannot see where it is going. There=E2=80=99s no way it can ge=
t through to the needle. I have pulled the pistons and they are clean that s=
aid there is light clean oil on the adjustment area at the bottom of the car=
bs. This all started with me getting back firing and sputtering. My thoughts=
being the pistons (carbs) were not moving properly. Needless to say I check=
ed the distributor side wires...points etc. it=E2=80=99s getting to the poin=
t that the problem is above my pay grade. Ugggg. Thanks to all.=20
