Another Anti Afterburn valve problem help?
 

Alright here we go again... again.

85' FB, New sterling nikki.

See the anti-afterburn hose in the picture? Its supposed to be plugged if the #2 Anti-Afterburn valve is removed. And having a new nikki, there isn't a A.A. valve. Now with this unplugged my car runs like crap. BUT if it is plugged it will NOT RUN. Ive searched and searched. Any help?

definitely needs to be plugged. since it'll run like crap with it unplugged, my first guess would be that the carburetor has been enriched to accommodate, which means that when it is plugged, the car is running TOO rich and it's chocking itself . . .have you been messing with the A/F mixture/idle screw(s)? :scratch:

good call. I have, because i didnt notice the HUGE vac leak (its been a long week) and adjusted mixture before i found it, or stumbled apon it. Ill check it out tomorrow and update.

all good under no hood. thanks for your help.

glad to be of some use.
