I installed the 45 power valve in the truck, the one that was in there was a 50, but it had two gaskets on it, don't know if that screwed up anything. I will check vacuum to see where it sits after I warm it up, have grandson working for me today so I won't have a chance to test out any changes. Will top off tank before I make a run so I get an accurate reading. If did find a good tutorial on tuning these carbs on line, plus I bought a book on the 2300. You guys seem to be chiming in with the same issues as the tutorial brought up.
hopefully we can get this problem sorted.


UPDATE;;;; took vacuum reading at idle, ran about 13 inches so that means I need a 65 correct. Does it mean that the power valve opens at a higher RPM as the higher the valve number goes??

thanks again,
