So frickin' true! At Pig Gig a couple years ago, Travis brought a crowd with his .454 revolver. I was shooting somewhere near when I felt the concussion and knew I had to shoot it.

It was a .460, still a big frickin' round but was surprisingly controllable. Even Susie shot it!

grr....i have decided that i hate carburetors.
i have one problem after another trying to get the j10 running...first it was sucking the bowl dry. then it was overflowing the carb and spraying gas out of the top of the carb. now it will only stay running with the choke closed if you run the throttle by hand. so i think (and i really have no idea because this is the first carb i've worked on) that the high idle is not set right and the mixture is not quite right....i just want this damn thing to run so i can get it out of the shop
If there is another Pig Gig I've got a few hand cannons to shoot. A few bolt action hand guns in 7wsm and a wildcat 338wsm. The 338 pushes a 250grain bullet at 2750fps if those aren't enough the 500S&W encore with 500 grain cast bullets is always interesting.
Stop messing with it. Every time I have messed with a carb for hours "Not wanting to take it apart", I always end up doing so in the long run... so get on with it already
Buy a rebuild kit, they generally come with a blown up carb layout. Get a set of welding tip cleaners. Pull it off. Get some newspaper, set it on the kitchen table where you can see everything. dissemble it and note where everything goes. Watch out for check balls - note size and location for re-installation. Remove the main jets and clean the passages by squirting carb cleaner though them. Take the tip cleaners and make sure the main jets are not clogged. Same with the idle jets.
Set the float per spec in the rebuild kit.
Set the accelerator pump per spec in the rebuild kit.
Set the choke per spec in the rebuild kit.
If no spec available on the idle air screws, set to 1.5 turns off stop as a starting point.
Clogged idle jets will cause you to need more throttle to keep it running because you are using the main jets.
Clogged mains will cause starvation off throttle.
Poor accelerator pump action will cause stumble on acceleration (need more volume pumped).
Carb data can be obtained in any old Motors manual. I have even found good info on the web by punching in the carb type (Make/Model)

Carbs are black magic
Stuff an EFI setup on it, should be doable with junkyard parts I think. It isn't like they put the 360 and its variants in trucks for 30 years or anything...
Xj front swaybars are amazingly strong!
