So, 
the '69 B is back on the road and NEW Orig. engine, clutch, etc. installed
at at 200 miles and starting to loosen up nicely... 

2 Questions..

Got a slighly faster Cam, a 2000 Rpm + active street cam.... quite mild
above stock and am curious if the timing should end up being a little
ABOVE  what it used to be. ? this appears to be the case wonder how
others have adapted..?  

Question Number 2 regarding HS-4 SU's ?

when sitting with key off, or after a run and sitting, the carbs will weep
out of the bottoms a bit... drip, drip,drip like stuff,,, anyone got a
match..?  it eventually stops, probably after the bowls empty out, is this
just a gasket deal? or on these HS-4's, is this a jet related or seal
related problem.. any direct experiences here..?


thanks..
