Ok, I'm back to jetting my carbs and final engine runs before taking the
plane to the airport for assembly.

At 1000 - 1200 RPM I am getting 20 in Hg MAP. Is that normal or should I
look for air leaks (false air) before drilling up the idle (slow) and
main jets?

The engine runs rough if I don't apply near full choke and starts
missing at 2000 RPM with prop load (higher RPM w/o load). This with only
one of the three carbs - the center carb supplying both rotors.

What kind of carbs do you have on there Finn?

Why are you using only the center carb?

Do you have an EGT gauge on there?

What does the intake manifold look like?
