What is your current jetting and what issue are you having?

Racing Beat has some good jetting reccomendations that seem to work well.

it is a brand new carb from racing beat, racing beat doesnt show recommended jet sizes for a 6 port 13b either.

but full throttle under 2k it bogs very very bad, feels like it has an ok amount of power in 1st but going to second and beyond feels like its got no torque and power. before i changed the carb it did not have this problem

Do you have an air/fuel ratio gauge? Is it only bogging when you first hit the gas, or all the way through the rpm range?

What is your fuel pressure set at, and is the float level set correctly?

Weber carbs are far from plug and play.

As I reread your reply- are you saying the car has no power below 2k RPM? You realize that's normal for an engine with a powerband in the 5-7k range, correct? What carb were you running before, that didn't bog below 2k rpm?

And no power i mean it feels slugish throughout the entire gear. All the way through the rpm range

I'd say wait til you get that a/f gauge hooked up. It could be too rich, could be too lean, but more likely lean.

When you switched to the weber carb did you advance the timing? Webers like some additional advance from what I hear.

i left the timing as is since it previously had a weber dcoe on it that was too small(42) but it felt like it was able to keep up better than this ida as is right now.

say i start out rolling into the rpms from 2nd gear i feel noticeable torque and power but redlining gears it feels like there is nothing.

have switched to 200 mains, 205 air correctors, 70 idle, f4 emulsion tubes.
i tried out 42 chokes and a 300 needle valve but it would run lean on acceleration but settle out to normal once i was higher up in the RPM range. I switched the chokes out and left the 300 needle and noticed it was acting strange, almost like it was running out of gas on uturns and things like that. Swapped that back out for a 200 needle and it is much better. i feel my mixture screws are too far turned in though as im only about 1.5(maybe less) turns from fully being screwed in.
I also notice at idle my AFR is around 11-11.5

ideally on a weber the idle mixture screw is about 1/2 turn from seated, although 1.5 turns out isn't a bad thing.

the idle jet sets the mixture for the whole idle range, so if 11.5 is too rich, you might try the next leaner idle jet.

also 205 air correctors seem big to me, but if it works it works

book value is about 60 less than the main jet, 205-60=145, your mileage may vary.

the pieces in the carb are interrelated, and you have different fuel pressure, different exhaust, and might just want a different mixture strength than me, or the jetting chart
