My thought is possibly some hot shot in the old days drilled out the the main jet In order to get more power. Back in the 60's I did that sort of thing.

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

The amount of fuel that is delivered by the carb. is determined by how much air flows through the carb. " venturi effect" thus a lower boast by the supercharger would deliver less fuel because less air is flowing through the carb. Conversly more boost would give more air and more fuel. All this is saying I don't think the supercharger is at fault but a carb. issue. The main metering jet on the proper EX 32 Auburn supercharged carb. is .082. The next closest EX 32 carb. has a .069 metering jet, so I doubt you have a metering jet that is too large. Is the power jet opening too soon, is the floot level set correctly? I am thinking out loud, anyone else have any ideas, or totaly disagree and tell me I'm full of XXXX.

Does anyone know someone that can bench check my carbureator and supercharger if I send it to them?
It runs rich at higher speeds. The shop that tuned it up thought that the supercharger wasn't getting enough boost and the carbureator hi speed jet might not be correct as they didn't have a tool to remove it and check it. It runs fine at slow speeds.
