I've just installed dual 34 carbs (EMPI) with the equalizer tube between both manifolds and can't get a good fuel mixture. (The distributor is vacuum and centrifugal.) Tried both sets of jets. Would timing be causing this problem?? Or maybe I need to connect the vacuum from both carbs to dist?
Any help would be great! |

Do you have a way to check the fuel pressure ? Could be that the dual webber ICT carbs a a bit more sensitive to excessive fuel pressure. If it is over 2 psi that may be your problem. Which fuel pump are you using ? If the pressure is ok you most likely need to readjust the float levels.....If gasoline is building up inside the carbs (one or both) it is because the floats are not closing the inlet valve and shutting the fuel off when the bowl is full. You will need to bend the tang a bit so that when the float rises the tang will push the valve closed, while you check that see if the seats and the valves are in good condition. You will need to determine it you have brass or plastic floats before you can get the exact measurement for float adjustment.
