I was planning on going out today, but I woke up with a head cold. So I am not going to make it. Thanks for the offer though. Me and my bro are going to work on it.

I need a new bolt for my float bowl if I toss the Dial-A-Jet b/c i had to tap a hole into that for the DAJ. That thing is a waste of money. I'll tweak around with it today though. I'll prolly order a new bolt and put that pile of crap on the shelf.
