Surging is only part of the problem.  I did fix most of it with a manafold 
inlet gasket.  The other problem is Not Enough RPM.  The last one inch of 
throttle does not deliver any more RPM.  In fact it may even go down a 
little.  I only get around 2200 and doing a mag check at 1700, it would drop 
to 1200 and slowly build up to 1700 (10 sec) on both L and R.  An hour 
earlier I got 2330 with a good mag check on R and L and could lean to 2380.  
Carb heat and Idle cut off seem to good.
