Mac is right.   You need to get the timing and valve adjustments sorted 
before doing the carb sync.

I don't know where Lutherville is but there's a concentration of very 
helpful and knowledgeable airheads in the Annapolis area, and further 
west in Westminster.

If you were in Richmond I'd come on over :)
