carb question (Holley)
Hey sorry guys I went out and tore the carb down and got it soaking in a bath of carb cleaner at the moment- there was some build up on the metering plates around a couple holes in them as well as the base gasket being saturated with gas
FIRST - this is a new engine with 12 miles on it (6 nice- 6 spirited)-
the carb I bought off Ebay as a rebuild-able core it had sat for 5 years on a shelf prior to me owning it (so the PO said)
I didn't notice it on first start up BUT I had a few things wrong (installed the dizzy 1 tooth advaced) this was also fixed and was timed to TDC with the engine off -
here is what I did on first start up- rotated the balancer to 12* BTDC(thinking it was TDC) and stuck the dizzy in at No.1 cylinder and that is how it's running in the video... maybe I should redo that??
I just found a video on my phone it has 18" of vacuum @2,250rpm
the throttle blades were the first problem I took them apart and didn't take notice while reassembling them so they were stuck open a bit to far- took the base plate off re adjusted the blades lower and reinstalled and then the current problem started and still exists
Also can't have the vacuum advance hooked up cause once it is the engine revs to 3,500 or so SO I have the initial timing set W/O it at 32* while it's running @ 2,000rpm
