SCHMITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course I remember you!!
You're welcome.
[ATTACH] As the story goes a guy came to California in 1960 to find the nicest 32 Sedan body he possibly could and then took it back to New York...
I understand, but understand this.....I've never needed or wanted an O2 senser. But I have wanted or needed pretty much everything else on your...
EXACTLY! After working on thousands of cars, why would I need one now?
The 1st and smaller step is part responsible for controlling flow on the main metering circuit, and the 2nd slightly thicker step controls fuel on...
If tips broke the pieces are long gone. I changed them to some that should be close. I did not close the throttle blades yet. I've got a good idea...
I've never seen rods as stubby as the ones pictured above, so I'm going to guess at 1 of these more typical profiles to put back in instead. [ATTACH]
These rods are pretty fat looking (.062 .068) and I'm kind of reluctant to put them back in[ATTACH]
Interesting you say this. It has a magneto in it that I am getting rid of and replacing with stock points distributor soon. Maybe now sooner than...
Are the metering rods and jets I mentioned earlier close enough to being compatible for now?
If I put it all back together and I still cannot get it to idle on the idle circuit what would you suggest I try next? Thank you
The front carb has been blocked off throughout all this. Lower idle ports appear to be fine. Is it worth looking into the other carb to see if it...
As far as what's in the motor, I have no idea since it was built near 60 years ago. It does idle like the cam is mild.
I have to admit, this last time I really was hoping that the primary and secondary jets were switched as suggested.
I changed the base gaskets from the wrong ones that looked like they were working fine to correct ones and no changes. This I expected. [ATTACH]...
I'm not familiar with the air bleeds on a Carter as I am on a Holly.
I'll try that in the morning, thanks. All other ideas are welcome.
When may have been typing at the same time so check out my post above.
It's got 2 fours, with no idle circuit on the front carb, that and it's blocked off so I don't get any problems from it while trying to tune the...
There's really not much to it. I was wondering if it had the wrong venturi clusters. Since the front carb (dual quads) has no idle circuit, are...
I'm convinced no fuel is getting to the idle circuit but I can't figure out why. I removed the venturi clusters and sprayed Gumout with that...
They are open pretty far, which is what I expected because I believe it's idling on the main metering circuit because no fuel is getting to the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
OK the big jets are upfront and are right around .l00. The rods are close to .062 and .068 which all seems close to normal according to the chart...
Yes, I got that too after I thought about it for a moment. After all the information last night I had to take a step back and re read some of it....
Ok guys, I picked this up from a buddy earlier. Since the carb # not legible, how about some common jet/metering rod combos? I'm pretty sure the...
Don't the metering rods go in the primary jets?
OK let's try a different angle. I get 0 response from both idle mixture screws and all the passage ways and emulsion tubes are clear. Any thoughts...
