weird shuddering problems at low engine speeds

OK, speed dosnt matter. But trying to cruise at any rpm below 3k the car will sort of buck and rock. I disabled the shutter valve. But this seamed to have started with my new fuel pump and reg.

any thoughts?

the thing idles fine at 750. even with the reg cranked the thing will still idle. I dont have a pressure gauge so I am going on seat of the pants dyno.

I was running really lean for a while without knowing it.

You need to PM sterling...it's definitely carb related, one of the fuel circuits not getting the right vacuum or perhaps debris caught in the needles so they can't seat...
