You now know they are clean?
All the parts function?
Are in sync?
Gaskets good?
Not loose?
Next.
*Do you know if they have ever run correctly?
Static base timing means very little. Set total advance 28 to 30 advanced.
So you have duals and they look like idf models.
*Have you searched them up?
*Are they 40's or 44's?
What ventures do you have?
Webers are tunable and will run on just about anything.
BUT they are not made exactly for any aftermarket set up.
When purchased they usually are not jetted correctly.
Whoever put them on has to run it and tune them. This involves changing up low and high speed jets and even the emulsion tubes on some.
This set up or tune will be extremely specific just for your one engine, compression ratio, cam, displacement, *and even the distributor u use.*
So hopefully whoever did it knew what they were doing, which goes back to the question did it ever run right.
The distributor has a lot to do with the transition phase.
The 009 or clone of are well known to not fit any transition curve. They are industrial wide open all the time units.
