On my dual weber 44idf, 2258 engine- I cannot get my engine to idle at less than 1000 rpm. I have backed out both idle speed screws all the way. I unhooked the linkage. I played with the timing (which will slow it however it runs like crap). I adjusted the mixture. I even put new throttle plates in the carbs and synced them. I made sure the throttle shafts were not bent.
My old throttle plates were worn which I feel let too much air in. I replaced the plates with new ones which I thought would correct the problem. I was able to get the idle to go down from 1200 to 1000. I shined a light under the plate after installing them- I can see a very slight amount of light from between the plate and barrel wall. Any ideas? |
