Re: replacing carb jets

[Paul Hamaday <phamaday@xxxxxxxxx>]

I never dealt with a 'Demon' carb before but they are based on a holley carb. If I got black smoke out the exhaust with a holley when I tromped on it I'd change the power valve. They dump a lot of extra fuel when the vacuum drops. Switch to a smaller power valve.
