thats good advice. the current ones are solid.

now that i've pulled the head, i noticed that the front 3 cylinders have quite a lot of carbon on them in spite of the fact that the engine has ran for less than 30 mins total while the back 3 are clean. what could this be caused by?

also, the stuck valve, it is a stuck intake valve on the 4th cylinder, left a bit of what i'd call "tattooing" on the piston top. it really looks ok to me but should i be worried about that?

and last, i have been told by a few people that the dual carb set up looks great but forget it and go with a single two barrel. i'm sure there are may options and opinions. i'd like to hear if anyone is inclined.

thanks again.
