What do i have?

Alright,I'm kinda at a road block and waiting on some more parts.

So I decided to get it running and flush some water around for a few douche drain and refills.

I copied the vacuum lines, all 2 of them as was before, which may or may not be correct.

It hits on all 8, and when the rotor is advanced a bit, it idles beautiful, and I don't need to load the idle screw at all.

When I did the timing gear I went 4* advanced, so I set my gun 4* and turned the rotor until the balancer hits zero, and to keep it idling I need to turn in the idle screw, and it runs quite a bit more poppy. The manifolds are open, so its very easy to hear any exhaust note.

For the idle jets I turned them all the way in, then 1.5x out each, then slowly backed them out until the idle cleaned up.

When I dump the throttle it cuts out/backfires out the carb. If I roll into it kinda quick, it spits and fires like its rich.

Does this scamazon carbinator have fast idle jets to adjust? Doesn't look like it .


Unfortunately I can't really load the engine until I get my pump and hoses plumbed, so maybe i am limited having just sit here in neutral. At the same time I'd rather check and make sure I'm getting a ground zero to build off of.

The fuel I'm using isn't terrible old. Maybe 3 months at most. I'll grab a jug for the next play. The starter needs to come off. For some reason the solenoid throws but won't send power to the starter after its hot. I'm so annoyed.
