got a couple issues I could use some advice on. 2316cc with weber 44's
1: CHT i gave a micro1000 CHT gauge.. its not reading anything.. i have it under #3 cylinder and its connected to the extension line and heat shrinked and on the gauge its red to + and purple to - . this is the only way it will go as one is a male and the other is a female connector. 2: carbs are running lop sided. right bank is pulling about 5 and the left side is pulling 12-14. this is with the idle speed screws backed right off. Any adjustments on the right banks mixture screws do pretty well nothing until closed and then is sputters a bit. Adjusting the mixture screws on the left side start making changes to the idle and sound of th engine immediately.. 3: voltage gauge is not reading anything but the idiot light does go out once the motor is running 4: fuel gauge and the temp gauge ( in combo gauge) are both pegged.. I think this is most likely ground. i'll check that in a min. I only put a couple gallons of gas in the tank. side note.. once motor was warmed up doing cam break in the oil pressure was steady at a hair over 20psi andi only have one small drip of oil on one valve cover, which i'll look at when i do a valve adjustment. |

I did not get a chance today to get to work on the valve adjustment.. I had to get the interior in and get the car to its safety inspection. I am hoping I'll get the back end up in the air and get to work on that this weekend.. I'm sure the carb was closing all the way but I'll be going through the startup tuning all over again once I get the valves adjusted..
Thanks for pointing out the manifold bolts.. I'll add that to the list to double check. I havent rebuilt them myself. I know they came off a running engine (i'm sure of this), but I wanted to get the car up and running before I try taking them apart. Pete: I'll give that a try.. maybe someone made a mistake with which wire colour got which connector... Thanks for the heads up Maybe I will get to drive this ol' gal soon.. :-) |
