I'm having alittle trouble getting my dual carbs dialed in, the 1st is rich, and the second is lean. My fuel pump was putting out 3.5psi, but the guy I bought my carbs from said I should run 2.6psi instead. What do you guys think?
I've got 60 idle jets and 180 mains, which I thought was overkill, until he told me that I should run 2.6 instead of 3.5 psi. |

the only reason i suggest turning the idle up is to steady the needle on your syncro tool. the pulsing at reg idle can make the neelde flucutate a bit. i prefer a steady reading. if the front 2 throats are flowing the same, move on to the next step. there's lots to the equation...potencial vac leaks at the intake to heads all the way to the base plates for the linkage. you'll like the self regulated rotary pump from cb. start with a set of 50s for the idle jets. cb should have them. also, ask if they have the little o-rings for the idle jet holders. now would be a good time to replace them when you do the jet change. get 8 of them, i think they are the same as the ones for the idle/air mixture needle screws. piece of mind.
k ps they're open right now |
