pulled my my filter off today because i figured i would change it and it was damp with oil....?
oil had also collected at the bottom of the filter housing and is obviously coming from the tube running to the oil filler cap. this is the pcv valve? what's the purpose of this tube? pressure? anyway, if anyone knows why this is happening...please enlighten me. i'm looking to switch to an idf 44 and i want to keep that carb running right. thanks in advance here's a pic of the setup: (IMG:http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/pba110/914/IMG_1553.jpg) |

The single carbs is not optimum for cold weather. BTDT! When it's really cold they never get warmed up. Never had a problem when I switched to dual carbs.
I'll 2nd Mark's guess on excessive blow by. Do a leak down and compression test. Make sure your ignition timing is dead on, this could cause your high idle problem, it could also be a sticking advance plate in the distributor. FWIS, big throttle return springs will usually only cause future linkage problems, as well as an extra hard throttle pedal. You should only need enough return spring to smoothly pull it back to the idle stop. |
