Can not add anything to that. When I was breaking in the C5 it would do that till about the tenth tank. Smoothed its self out without touching a thing.

When i was breaking in my 3.3, it did it untill half way through the season. Also be sure the car is pushed down all the way, somtimes from factoy the will have the carb sitting off the base to perserve the seals.

the Mid range needle is extremely hairy. leave it alone. if it does need adjust ment, 1/32nd goes a very long way!

A note on what was posted, about the carb not all the way down. DO NOT SCREEW IT DOWN TIGHT! now yes make sure it is seated, but do not crank down on the bolt, only enough so it does not move. this info is from the factorys.

ron is correct!!!! an absolutely very imoprntant tip, if you crank the carb retaining nut down tight it eggs the carb neck and actually causes an air leak, snug it down, you just need SOME presure on the carb thats all!!!
