waiting to rebuild whitey! Group: Retired Admin Posts: 15,854 Joined: 7-January 03 From: Indy Member No.: 100 Region Association: None |
OK, so last week the car ran wierd on saturday. I blew the jets out (they seemed fine) replaced the o-rings, cleaned the K&N's and it still does it. It smells a bit rich, but it always has. It will idle fine, but if I go out for a drive it's just not right. Could it be valve adjustment time?
Thanks in Advance, I'm going to the track Saturday and don't wanna have to wrench on it there. |

Disassembling and reassembling the carbs is not that hard. Make sure you have a nice clean work area and get a carb out. Face the idle bleed screws towards you and start taking it apart. As you go, lay the parts in order, so you remember which side they came out of. Count the how much the bleed screws are turned out. Turn them in counting (1 1/2 to 2 1/2 turns) make a note, then remove. Take all the jets out. You don't need a rebuild kit, unless all the gaskets are pooched, just reuse them.
Do not touch the throttle shafts or the screws with the lock nut on them. Do not over torque stuff (just snug) when putting it back together. About 2-3hrs for a novice, I can do both in about an hour. |
