    Just got dual W1's and dual exhaust.... 55,000 original miles : )

    Runs really well driving around, but idles a bit rough.

    1 of the carbs is puking (note that I have the vacuum advance tapped into the puking carb. Is that ok? Do I need to draw vacuum from both cabs? Could that be the issue?)

    Symptom #2 is that when I'm going down a hill in 2nd (when these sixes sound so wonderful), I'm getting an occasional very loud pop, almost like a mini backfire.

    Whadda ya'll think? Vacuum issue? Stuck float?

    I'm gonna tackle it this weekend.

    Thanks!

    I pull vacuum from the intake and not any one carb. You may need to do some carb adjusting? Get air fuel mixtures the same as well as the idles so the carbs are in sync.
