hi, i was working in my friends 85 gsl today and the problem is that wont open the secondarys on his carb. i had a gsl before but i never had that trouble so i dont know. things that i did is, clean the carb with carb cleaner, clean the linkage, put WD-40 and did some others things to fix the starting problems and idle. is being like that for a month now and the car doesnt have power at all after 4k rpm. can somebody help me please? thanks

 

ok let me refer this does somebody have a pic of mecaincals secondarys on somebodys car? thanks

 

Check for vacuum leaks before you go nuts with the mech. secondaries mod. There's an underlying problem that needs to be solved instead of kludging the linkages together to get around it.

 

i checked allready for vacuum. i worked 5 hours yesterday replacing hose and trying to open the sec. i got them clean, i can open trhem by hand but they dont open while driving. any others sugestions?

 

I would also say vaccum leaks. Those old hoses can dryrot if you are not careful!!!!!

 

do a search for mechanical secondaries... and you will find a link to the pics

i did a search and it said that search have no match. and i replace the vacuum hoses, change gasket, i did everything and it still wont open. and my friend wants mecanicals anyway. any link for that? please

 

How do you know the secondaries aren't opening?

 

did you check the t-bar, thats what was wrong with mine when they wernt opening. they just wernt hooked up, i dont know why, but i just put the t-bar back on, and it worked great. its located in the back of the carb the side closest to the fire wall. it will be a rod that looks like a t, i think its threaded and everything so you can adust it, but check that out

 

because theres no power and i use to heard the sec when they open.

 

T bar? do you have a pic of it?
