haha interesting, ill check out the needle. Thanks for that tip. I got the carb from a guy in north dakota. I live in ventura, so santa barbara is just a cruise away. Im not sure what the socal crew or super squirrel help and info is.
I checked kips while running and the arm is moving like it should. Looking into the exhaust, the ports seem to line up right when its moved, so I'm fairly confident kips is not the issue. however I am new to kips.
Ill call around to some shops and see if I can't get some new reeds for this block. process of elimination...
Thank you,

It's not the needle that is the problem... It's the tube that it goes up and down in... It is a jet. , and when the needle wears it out it makes it impossible to get fueling right....

this probably isn't the culprit...but,
did you happen to notice if the center "flapper valve", at the top of the exhaust port was opening fully as well, when you were checking the side valves?
over time the pins get worn and that valve won't function fully....in other words, if that center "flapper valve" can't open fully...it'll choke itself to some extent under full throttle because the exhaust port opening will be to small.
