needle valve seat came loose, contributing to a sticking float, which starved the carb for fuel.
makes sense if it was never tightened properly at the factory. It does seem that new carbs, whether Weber or Empi, need to be rebuilt before installation. I've seen float level settings way off more than once, among other problems. Same is true for Mallory distributors. They have numerous possible problems which must be resolved up front to avoid performance issues. |

You hit the nail on the head Chris and I'm glad I got the distributor from you!
You said 50 idle jets... The idle jet adjustment screws are pretty far out, It seems like 60 would run easier but that is just a speculation from a guy just starting to scratch the carburetor surface! |
