The engine didn't run any better either. So, I decided to put the Stromberg back in and see if it did any better.

I had Uncle Max rebuild my 97 but he left the .44 jets in thinking they were OK at my elevation of 5,000 feet. Maybe they were and that has nothing to do with anything but the plugs looked a little lean to me so I put bigger ones in. Didn't help the noise.
