Yea it is kind of a waste (Weber 36/38 DVG) but I have a number of projects that are sucking up $$$ so I am trying to make it a while with this set up. Had a huge stumble before changing to the 60s on the Accelerator jets. The stumble is mostly gone now. Waiting for a 70 to come in. But while its better, it seems to not want to idle. Regardless of how I try to adjust it acorroding to the instructions, it seems to want to die. At anything above idle it seems to be fine. The problem was there before the change but it was no better after. Did a good cleaning on everything else but did not change anything other than the accelerator diaphram. One thing I noticed is that fuel seems to be dripping into the primary. I am not sure if it was like this before as I had not looked in.
I am assuming this is not normal, so any thoughts on what I goofed up? |

I have checked extensively for vacuum leaks but have not found any.
I did break it all back down last night and compiled a list of the factory settings to the current to see if anything was way out of line. Here is what I found. Part FACTORY SETTINGS Current Settings Primary Main Jet 1.40 mm 1.40 mm Secondary Main Jet 1.35 mm 1.20 mm Primary Air Corrector Jet 1.65 mm 1.65 mm Secondary Air Corrector Jet 1.60 mm 1.60 mm Primary Idle Jet .55 mm .60 mm Secondary Idle Jet .50 mm .50 mm Primary Emulsion Tube F50 F50 Secondary Emulsion Tube F6 F50 Pump Jet .50 mm .60 mm For the most part it seems like the same emulsion tube in both the primary and secondary side seems odd. But the oddest thing is that large changes in the idle volume screw seem to produce very little change in the engine RPM. Which indicates an increase in the idle jet size is indicated. Go to .70 or.80? Will put the carb back on tonight and see if fuel still drips in to the main. |
