Dual Dellorto carb setup, the carbs tend to snap under load. After tinkering for a while with airflow and linkage and not resolving, I am going to go to basics and check fuel pressure. How do I measure this? Is there an inline guage I can buy?

Well, I took the carbs off, and made sure the accelerator pumps were working, and adjusted them so the accelerator pump would be functional through the range of the carb's operation. Reinstalled the carbs, and put a this sealer on all four carb manifold gaskets, top and bottom. Get it running and balanced again, and same thing: the right side carb almost always backfires under acceleration. Occasionally is will backfire under idle. I am very frustrated. To recap, I have done:
Valve adjustment Timing adjustment Fuel pump pressure measured Main and idle jet removal and cleaning Balanced with synchrometer Varied idle mixture from 2 to 3 turns What have I not done? Time to send these away I think. |
