I noticed in the video when you start it it is prity ritch but once its been running and reved for a few seconds it leans back out to normal fuel mixture by the looks of it.
im prity sure on the j3 chip you can adjust the ritch start up seting in the ecu.
might pay to check the O2 sensore to ;)

Do you have a J3 chip? If not I'd highly recommend one, will smooth out the idle, and give a nice midrange boost with the right tune.

$350 for mine, only really need them if you make a change in which they are required, for instance i got this cam which wont run without a chip, (requires more fuel, ect ect)

Thats about all i can tell ya..

Chips alone are about $130 with a somewhat custom tune done before theyre sent out (minor mods to fuel, VE & spark table). Or you can get a chip+burner for 200 odd which you can custom tune yourself. Well worth every cent!

FOR.0EL, are you on the Goldy or Bris?

yeh definitely looks like the switch, they normally leak through so you cant reseal them, and are cheap to replace
