Hello,

Am trying to get a base line set up for PHF 36 mm carbs on a 1988
Paso. I have the Mallosi kit, and am using Barnett 0ne in, two out
cable arangement. My major problems are, rich idle, ok mid range,
with slight flat spot, lean main jet...white spark insulator...upper end.
I live in Savannah Ga. so low to mid 90's and 60 to 70% normal
summer weather. Was wondering if someone may have tried
setting up Paso with Mallosi aftermarket kit, and would share
set-up info. Bout it from the low country.

K3 and K5 needles

Hi Zoomer
A K3 has a 2,5 mm diameter and a K5 is 2,45 in diam
the diam of the tip is the same 1,5 mm
so when you put in the K5 needle the mixture will be a little richer

Hello Eldert,

Just a short note to say thanks for the needle info. Think I
will go with the K5. Thanks again, take care.
