Idle jet screw pictures

Here are some pictures of my idle jet holders... I think this may be the culprit to my
carb issues. The Idle jet wouldn't come out no matter what I did, so I got some
pliers and wrapped it in a towel, and FINALLY got the idle jet out. Well, not before I
realized that I didn't have enough towel on it, and boogered some of the threads.
They were pushed down enough that it would not screw back into the carb. I ended
up having to use my dremel to grind it down a little to screw back in. Looking at it
now, It would seem that air could get into parts where it shouldn't a lot easier.
Running it by you guys to see what ya think of it. I'll get a video of the car later.

I'm no expert on the Weber carbs, but I think that would cause a problem.

Got the holder in today, threw it in and she idled MUCH better! I actually got to drive over 4k as
well, she is smooth all the way up. However, if I am cruising she will studder, and for some
reason, halfway through my drive she went from 1000 to 2000 idle.




Ignore my makeshift coil bracket, getting some plugs welded for my new bracket to go on.

Yep, double checked the throttle cable and it is a bit stiff. Seems like I have it too tight and it
binds.
