    Allow me to simplify that last post. When tuning the idle A/F Mixture on cylinder 4 I was unable to enrich the mixture enough to obtain a consistent yellow colored flame in the combustion chamber. The cylinder would flash yellow intermittently and that would be accompanied by a pop from the exhaust. Turning the mixture screw out only slightly increases the frequency of said flash/pops.

    As far as the cause there are a few possibilities. What makes the most sense?
    1. Bowl fuel level sitting too low (float too high)
    2. Too much variance in throttle plate sync (it was 4 cmHg from cyl 3 at most)
    3. Air/Vacuum Leak
    4. Pilot air jet not fully seated
    5. Pilot/idle jet not fully seated
    6. Cylinder 4 is cursed


    The colortune guide suggests #1

      So the culprit to the cylinder 4 misfire was a dirty pilot jet. Hard to believe that it was still clogged after being soaked and scrubbed but I put it back together and it tuned right up. Here's what the manometer looked like when I decided that I was done...



      This was at 2000 rpm, it's easier to get an idea of where they are live since the bars jump around just a little bit.

      Next step is the test ride
