- Personally if it were me, I would figure out the hard start first then work on the rest. Fix the basics before you can tune any futher. Hard start cold with fireball.. Hmmm, flooding the carb, floats

- Hi Dick Uhhh, could you clarify "I haven't checked the clearance" referring to the valves. I'm hoping you set them originally when building the engine!!! With the lift you mentioned you have to have

- You have gotten some good info already, but I will chime in because I have likely made more mistakes than anyone else on this network. BASICS...is where to start. When building an engine, you should
