FYI I always check the secondary throttle plate adjustment, a good starting point is 1/2 turn open from closed

Can’t wait to hear the end of this. Not being a wise guy just very interesting.

Any boat I have will get an LS before a carb motor getting converted to EFI 😁

I have built a few LS motors now and done the swap in Jeeps and trucks, next LS swap will be a boat! Just not this one. I have a bare 18' slickcraft hull that will someday get an LS and an underpowered 23' power play (powerquest) that will hopefully get an LS sooner rather than later.

Are both the primary and secondary accelerator pump nozzles supposed to have this needle valve? I only have one on the primary side
