because I get the same performance with a 120 main as I do with 134 main.
I did notice however that with the 120-126 mains the plug metal tip did become scorched white.
The 134 main still does not put any color on the porcelain, but after running it for a 1/2 hour today and a 1/2 hour yesterday on that same plug ( cleaned it with brush) I am now picking up a small amount of black around the base ring ( see below picture, There is some residual scorch white on tip ).


I could try the 140 main, but I am just not feeling like going in the carb again unless I have to ( I think I have had the carb off at least 100 times since starting this thread )

If you think i should adjust something and do a TRICK with the carb, I will do it.
I can give you a call tomorrow if you don't mind. What would be a good time for you?
