Unfortunately I don't have any open roads near me so I could only hit like 45mph, but I will let you know how the riding goes this weekend!
I took apart the carbs again and the float needle was stuck, oops
There is still this weird ticking noise coming from the engine, and if someone could please watch my video and let me know what's could be causing it I would appreciate it.
Also, there's little bursts of white smoke on quick accelerations, but I'll ride hard and see if some of that goes away.
I'm sorry guys I feel so helpless for asking this question so many times...
But I can't get that ticking to go away! (well it went away once, but I messed it up )
I did the cam chain adjustment and re-did the valve gaps, but the ticking is still there. Is there some way to know if my gaps are too big or too small? Anything else that could be causing it? Or anyone in the Chicago area that wants to help me out
You are using the correct feeler gauges?
They should slip in w a smidge of resistance but not so much as to force them, or so little as to have any room to wiggle.
It would be several weekends before I am free. But yes i would drive up to Chicago. Even though I hate Chicago and everything about it. I would make that sacrifice for a fellow 360 owner. 8) And Im talking after Barber Vintage festival in B-ham Alabama. I MIGHT be free the last two weekends in October.

How I did it was I stuck my finger in the left spark plug hole, then turned the engine over until I felt air blowing out. I then put it to the LT mark, did the adjustment on the left side, then put it to the T mark and did the adjustment on the right side.
If everything is within spec, and you're confident all of your adjustments are on cue, then removing the cover and giving it a thorough inspection is in order. That noise is not supposed to be there. If it goes up with revs, then it may be related to interference with the cam chain. But by that video, it sounds to me like valves.
The one adjustment I wasn't sure about was the cam chain adjustment. Alot of things I read said you would hear or feel some sort of pop or pressure, but I felt nothing at all when I loosened the screw. It seems simple enough though. Put engine to 90° past LT on compression stroke and loosen and tighten the adjuster.
