Gig,
I was initially told 9.5 deg from someone on the list. I then checked the archives and read 8.5. I set it at 8 and am getting 2800 - 2900 rpm on takeoff. I should be getting more. I know it is a carburetor issue. I will be tuning it this weekend. It still sputters a bit at full throttle, so I run it cracked from full. As soon as I get the carb right, I will reset the pitch.

If it sputters a bit at full throttle you may have a problem with the timing ( you said you would be at that this weekend) or it could be something as mundane as too low an octane rating in your fuel.... Try some high octane stuff to be sure.
My Miata absolutely hates the cheapo stuff and pings all over the place.... If I buy my high octane gas at one of those non-dedicated pumps that last gas pumped was low octane it will let me know... low octane fuel in the gas hose is almost a gallon and the car only takes ten gal from empty. Now I have to look for a gas station with a dedicated pump for high octane.
God only knows and he's not telling how it will react to the Eth degraded fuel when and if it ever get here.
