I don't see a torque spec in the service manual. What should I use?
I am not sure what you mean by adjusting the valves because they may be tight. Is this the spring load?
Any details you can give are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How long has it been since you re-torqued your heads and adjusted your valves. Your symptom sounds a lot like tight valves. Do that service before you mess with the carbs.
