914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Running rich hopefully gone

Posted by: ruddyboys Sep 11 2004, 02:46 PM

A while back I had the problem with my webers that they ran so rich they would foul after a short time. Pulled the engine to replace a broken rocker spring and put new idle jets and readjusted the floats on the webbers. Put the engine back and the car started the first shot. Timing fine and the car is running great. After a few minutes the car starts to run rough and keeps getting worst untill it stalls and wont start. Pull the plugs and they are black. Clean them off and the car still wont run. Then I notice the dizzy has moved. Put it back to about the same position as I started and the car fires right up. Time it and tighten the dizzy. Car runs for about 30mins with no problem.

dude, you make all that trouble shooting and fixin' stuff sound easy. go review my thread on adjusting simple weber 34s, and see what pain and suffering are all about.

oh wait, you probably know what you are doing; that's different. maybe some day i can be that way, too. which is to say, "nice work; i hope to be as capable soon."
