Your spec meets both Pat's and the Jenks set up recommendations which only leaves your float height setting as a variable. Light gray indicates a tad lean so you might adjust the float height up ever so slightly to improve the fuel delivery capability. Use a fine graded metric ruler and adjust both bowls to an equal setting (you do this upside down so you bend the tab to reduce the measurement)...of course once you do this you really need to balance the carbs for optimum response and efficiency; then you can check your plugs for color, a nice light cocoa brown is right.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Erwin:
Didn't get a chance to check the floats this weekend had other Issues to deal with (See post Lights went out) in the Miss Section. I'll keep you posted.
