Try down sizing your jets for short money, it's soooo easy to over carburate......might not have enough motor when it comes to those secondary's.......been there.

It was fine originally but I think the ethanol and old fuel pump has done some damage.

The fuel pump wasn't cutting off when the pressure was at the right point and pushed fuel out of every orfice of the carb.

Tempted to order a 625 Street demon and just work the jetting.

All's I know is I went from a 600 to a 360 on a mild 302 in a Mustang, went from that's quick to holey shiat hold on. Motor could eat the fuel fast enough with the 600, dogged it down a bit.........Sold that car to my brother who in return got a speeding ticket the next day.......BWAAAHAAHAAAAAAAA!

The old carb wasn't bad before the fuel pump problem. I think it needs a full rebuild with all new gaskets and seals

Big issue right now is more so the transmission being blown. Picking up the replacement in a few weeks hoping to have the 110 in the garage soon so I can get her pulled apart and ready for the new box.

So resurrection time. I have dusted the 110 off and started making the list of repairs that need to be done to get her road worthy again.

Time for this build to go somewhere. I have set a self imposed deadline of February 2020. I want to take it to Winter Romp. Than it will be time to finish the MGB so my Dad and I can do the power tour in it.

First thing will be finishing the list and getting a bigger board to track it on...

So I started by doing some cleaning in the garage.

I decided the 110 deserved a upgrade on the mission tracker. So we have an upgrade from torn range target taped to the door




To the new and improved system
