421 getting enough fuel?

I have a 421 cub with two 35mm pwk. Is the stock petcock, and float bowls enough to supply fuel under full load, or should I upgrade to larger bowls or a pingel Petcock, I have 168 jets in it now, and when I run Olds in Glamis, the plugs look lean, but duning at a casual pace, the plugs are rich. 168 jets seem big to me, so thats why Im wondering if its not getting enough full, and as far as I can tell, the floats are correct.

I had the same issues and chased the jetting for a year before i got float bowl's and a pingle. Also if you are using a billet cap and one of those billet hose toppers get rid of it and run a straight hose. The billet top will restrict the air flow and cause a vacuum in the tank.

One outlet just can't flow as much as two.

I have a used pingle for a stock banshee gas tank.

I got it in trade...never put it on.

 

You want it? 60 bucks shipped, add 3% for paypal. PM me if you're interested.

 

For Olds hill that's a long run on a 421 with stock fuel valve and stock bowls.

 

I drill my vent hose out of the gas cap (and remove the check ball assembly as well)
