Should not need timing advanced due to carb replacement. Advancing timing just makes thing engine run faster at idle. The important thing is total advance. What you add at idle also gets added at top end, and high rpm detonation destroys engines. A couple of degrees probably won't kill, but be careful.
I don't remember jet sizes, but do remember that everything else must be correct before you start tuning these. There is a good tutorial somewhere? <g> perhaps on one of the weber parts sites? I spent way to many hours learning these back in the 60's & 70's, then along came fuel injection and put my knowledge to no use<G> well, almost. I do remember that stumble off idle is sometimes due to secondary circuit too lean, also just blowing air or carb cleaner thru a jet don't count, use torch tip cleaners or piece of plain copper wire on used jets. A layer of scum? builds up and reduces hole size.
Good luck, RGS in Pittsburgh, Pa. USA
