Valiant Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi, Fliboi. If you get stuck bring your car round and I will take a look. I can usualy get to the bottom of this sort of thing. PM me if you want a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 When the idle screw is wound all the way in - the car should stall and refuse to start without gas. With the idle screw 3-4 turns out - it should run rough and idle crappy. If the idle screw makes no difference - your jets are waaay out or you have a float level problem (or a screwed enrichment valve like mine). Sounds to me like your idle jets are too small or you have a vacuum leak somewhere Are your plugs fouled at all after attempting to idle it for a bit?

BlownCorona Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 ok so just went and had another look at the idle jets, i have a 45 primary and 50 secondary. this should be pretty perfect and definitely not present the issues i have. so full run down on whats going on since ive been all over the place. i cannot get the carb to idle at any speed, i expect if i went to something crazy like 3k it would but thats just stupid. in order to keep the engine running i need to PUMP the gas pedal. when driving it feels jerky when on the primary and when i open the secondarys up i get a spluttering sound that reminds me of a modern drift cars rev limiter or something along those lines. when i wind out the primary idle jets holder bolt i can get a pretty smooth idle and really nice performance from the carb, just i get run on/dieseling and i noticed that the engine can actually start to spin backwards. besides, those bolts are supposed to be wound right in. might also put this in place of the first post.

BlownCorona Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Thanks so much to Valiants hard work, we figured out there was a hidden air leak in the adapter i had put together, once i put together a more suitable one, it should be all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
