mililani is not really that far away... takes me about 20 min if there isnt bad traffic. but last night she crapped out on me, it started stumbling going up a hill, then totally stalled..... i did manage to get it back down the other side of the hill but then it wouldnt start at all. i had a buddy come over who knew a lot about carbs, and we checked it all out, seems i ran out of fuel , and then fried the pump... thats my guess. Hey does anyone know what that valve is inline with the pump... it goes tank-filter-pump-?unknown valve?- then steel line to the carb... what is the valve? id take a picture and post it, but my car is about half a mile awayLOL . anyways., so i went out today, bought a fuel pump and am gonna install it later on see if that solves the problem. I need someone who knows about dellortos and racing beat to help me tune this thing right. the little jet looking things on the end of the intake arent adjusted properly and i need to know how many turns from bottom to set them at. if anyone can help me, please call me 8087792351. if need by i will call back and put the LD on my line. thanks.

okay now i need some help from some of the 12A guys and girls! okay my intake system might be messed up... i need to know how to set this dellorto and RB intake to run properly. it idles like a 68 camaro,... just sits there and kinda pulses.... i know my mixture screws are out of whack, but i dont know how to set them back to the"stock" setting. meaning whatever it needs to run properly. ... to tell u the truth, i dont know if that is why its pulsing... i was sitting in her today and i was thinking it might be the dizzy.... like if its retarded a little... can anyone help me?

 

I know there has been a recent thread on here about setting the timing on the engine via the flywheel marks, but not really sure if it'll help you here.

Try these links, see if they'll help. Also try searching with "tdc, top dead center"

ok the issue is definitley not my timing... its all intake mixture setup... i need someone to help me reset it and i cant seem to find it from Dellorto... any ideas?

 

im guessing you could somehow tune it by smell of the exhaust?
i did mine that way.. but its still not done yet. i need to get a a/f meter to tell if its correct.

 

^ A/F meters are fancy strobe lights. Widebands are better.

 

either or i just need something to get it tuned right.
