You have one data point.

DO a leakdown test and get another data point.

To be honest, 20 - 25 pounds diff sounds like a lot, but it's only about 
10% variation. No perfect, but not really, really bad.

Also, make sure that you used the exact same method on all 6 pots 
(wide-open throttle, turn the motor a min. of 4 turns on the starter)

Also, also, do the test "wet" and see if the number change.

regards,
rml
