My new 2056 engine running 44IDFs has now about a 40 miles on it. So cool to have this car back on the road after 25 years. Runs way to rich with a 160 main, 175 air correction, 60 Idle jets and a 36mm venturi. Continue to have a problem with popping through the carburetor at partial throttle. Fuel pump is the Carter rotary with inline filter along with their SS lines through the tunnel purchased from Tangerine Racing. Engine builder wants me to install a fuel pressure regulator to eliminate this as a variable. The jetting exercise can come afterward. I bought an Italian made "Petrol King" diaphram regulator with single outet. Will hook up serially the pump/ filter/ regulator / guage than "T" off to the two carbs. I'd like to hard mount this device but where ?? To the body or to the engine ?? I'm sure this has been done before. Any suggestions. Pics would also help. Thanks World

The carter is internally regulated. Buy a gauge not a regulator. Your AC jet is way too small, idle and main are too big with what I suspect are vents that are too large. Popping at part throttle is lean transition due to vents that are too large.
On a side note, check float level. A low level will create a lean pop. What ET do you have? I assume F11. There are other choices to help with your lean transition (F7). |

Anything bigger than that and it would fall flat on its nose coming off idle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
