<VV> Fitch engine final

[Michael Kovacs]

Hot running valve adjustment and carb idle adjustment on right bank and it now runs smoothly. Currently off jacks and stored for some cosmetic cleaning. 100 mile brake in run, clean oil, filter and storage for the winter. 

 Thanks for expert advice.

Michael, if tuning does not do it rotate the carbs to opposite banks to see if the pblm follows.

After fixing the carb that would not idle (Don't know what I did. Just did a bench check of linkage action) It starts at the touch of the key. I didn't have time tonight to do fine tuning of carbs, but the left bank has a nice rumble, but the right bank sounds "off" and the exhaust is definitely cooler.
