Cylinder 4 not firing- HELP! Options

[tornik550]

My simple brain wonders if the intake manifold on that side is tight (at the carb or maybe even the head)...


Also, what about the air bypass screws on the carbs?

1.60 mains is BIG. I tried 1.55 but went back to 1.50. I think I have 210 correctors.

Are you sure the dizzy is in right?

I am in the process of learning- what would a tight manifold do?

I have checked my air bypass screws. Cyl 2 and 4 are turned in completely and cyl 1 and 3 are about 1/4 turn out.

I think that I need to get a better selection of air correction jets. I was working on the car a few weeks ago and my box of jets feel of the trunk, I found all the jets except most of my AC jets.

I checked my dizzy, it is installed correctly however it seems to me that my timing is off even though the dizzy has not rotated from the last time I set it (I made a mark on the dizzy and case).

Thanks for the help

All four air bypass screws must be tightened all the way in(dont overtighten). What you have sounds like a carb problem. I have run 50 idles on a 2.0L with a cam and headers. Anything more than 55 is a bit rich. I wouldnt mess with anything else other than the carbs at this point. Carbs can be tricky, but once you learn how they work.....
