I have a 2.0 type IV engine with 44idfs on it. I was going to sync the carbs today and noticed that even when not pumping the throttle the accelerator pump drips a stream of gas down into the throat of the carb enough that its pooling up a bit on the throttle plate. I'm getting popping back through the carbs. Timing is spot on and the valves are correctly adjusted. I take it this is a problem and they arent supposted to do this? It also smells like its still running to rich. I have 135 mains, 200 airs, 55 idles, 36mm vents, and no velocity stacks currently. Mixture screws are set 1.5 turns out. Its also hesitating from idle to around 3K rpm if I step on it hard like its flooding out. Time to put kits in the carbs? Does the jetting for the accelerator pump need to be changed or adjusted?

I was just playing with my carbs for my 2056. They were rebuilt not too long ago but the car melted #1 piston at Willows so I was trying to check things out. (thats why I got a deal on the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )
The jettings (40IDFs) are 130Main/160Air/50 idle/32 Venturi/F11 emulsion - does the Air sound a little small? Anyhow, I dismantled the top end and it was pretty clean and everything looked good. I tipped it upside down to remove a little dirt at the bottom of the float bowls and out floated a 2mm X 1.5mm sliver of metal from the emulsion tube hole of #1 (I'm pretty sure thats where it came from)! So, would a large piece of foreign matter blocking the main jets cause an instant leaning out and hence a melted piston? Or wouldn't that explain the problem? Hoping that its the smoking gun I'm looking for... Richard |
