 36 PD?
When i am running my motor in the water i am getting some bubbles in the fuel filter as if it has air in the line. It doesnt do it at all when I am not running it in the water though. I am getting 4100 out and only getting 3750 for peak speed in the water. I just upgraded to the Iron Mountain heads and dual x over exhaust. Are these bubbles a problem? should I be getting some better proformance?

 Re: bubbles in filter
Yes, you have an air leak somewhere in the fuel line. Check all of your connections well. Where is your gas tank located and what do you have connected to the fuel line (primer bulb, fuel filters, quick connects, etc)?

 Re: bubbles in filter
i am pretty sure I know where it is. I will fix that. Now for the second part, Should I be getting better proformance? I adjusted the valves to .005 but havent done anything to the carb. should I adjust it? I would also like to adjust the govorner but cant make heads or tails of that cluster$&(#

 Re: bubbles in filter
Your RPM's sound about right, but I don't run a PD so wait for sumone who know a little more than me to chime in.
