Up and running... but

So, after the top end refreshing, I've finally got her running pretty decent after binning a failed sparx regulator (cannibalized my TR7 for its unit). I've discovered the "mysterious" oil splat on the head fins near the pushrod tunnels, and am thinking it's most likely coming from the studs as the gasket joint looks fine. Got her timed at 4K using the boyer timing curve provided at INOA (event at 4K she was dancing around like a drunk ballerina).

Running the jsmotorsport twin PWK kit, setup as per Jim's directions. At this point I've got her idling pretty smooth with a #38 pilot on the primary side and a #35 on the timing side, but the carb with the #35 is still slightly erratic... and I'm think it may be that the float on that carb is a c*nt hair too high.

Could that marginal height difference throw it out that much?

Why -oh -why would you run different pilot jets in each carb ? maybe I don't understand the post.

As per the setup instructions sent by JSMotorsports "DO NOT EXPECT EACH CARB TO NEED THE SAME IDLE SCREW MIXTURE SETTING. EACH CARB MAY NEED A DIFFERENT IDLE JET"

I've discovered fork seal leaks on forward head fins w/o any head leaks.

Each carb may need different jets eh, dang just like the Golden Era when hand fitters needed to get em out the door and pin strippers were doing the tanks.

Yes, I had to adjust my "worldview" a bit as well, but the fact is the suggestions were spot on... she likes different pilots in each carb.
