Anyway in the thread he talks about running triple DCOEs on a Canon manafold on a TR6 with stock cam and stock compression. I am trying to do the exact same. He mentioned toward the end that he would be willing to share knowledge on the jets and knowledge.

But bumping the throttle at that point either load or no load bogs bigtime, bassically kills the engine if I hold it, even if I go very slowly. I did manage to get it to a point where it revs so so if I keep bumping it fast with no load, but with any load at all it bogs and dies.  I've come to the conclusion my progression circuit is to blame and that operates off the idle jet, of which all are currently 50F11.

I removed the vacuum retard from the distributor and am running it at 12deg BTDC right now, and the mechanical advance does work and brings it up to 24ish deg.  It is a stock points distributor by the way.  I've read a few people mention that I need to upgrade that but others have successfully used it also. I've checked compression all are close and above 125psi.

I'm still concerned about the distributor but it seems well enough that it should run properly. I'm fairly confident it's a carb problem.
