I'll be checking the timing this weekend and will probably be taking it out to play. We'll see if it still stalls after I check the timing. Generally set between 10 - 14 btdc if I remember right?

Been doing good still with the same gf and the weight loss.

Right timing should be about 10-12. 14 would be kinda high. 8 seems a bit low for some but if it pings then lower. If it's sloshing it may be the float it set a bit high for off roading. With the angles that you may be putting it through it may be coming out a bit above the gasket and leaking out. If it leaks all the time like on the street driving then I can almost bet it's a float issue. Same thing happened to my Edelbrock 1406 with the floats set too low.
