With the breather top off and while looking down the barrles, how many are supposed tobe shooting fuel in? Im assuming 2 right? the 2 small ones? because only 1 of mine is pumping fuel.

I also wanted to ask about the mod that opens all 4 barrels. I have done the mod but it only opens them less then 1/4 inch. I mean its a verry small amount. even if I rev it up to 6k for a few seconds same amount. Should I try and pull the zip tie tighter? or could something be wrong here?


Now the last question, Is it ok for me to have a 5-9psi fuel pump running but have the regulator at 3.5? will this hurt anything?

Thx for the help. after all this ill be a master of the carb =/.

 

If you quickly open the throttle, fuel should squirt out of both of the little tubes. This comes from the accellorator pump. If only one is working, then you have a clog.

When doing the mechanical secondaries mod, you need to adjust it so that at wide open throttle the butterflies are fully open. A zip tie might have too much of a springiness for this purpose. I used a small length of mechanic's wire and it worked great. Another option would be a paperclip or something similar.

Fuel pressure reduction should not be an issue, but 3.5 might still be too much.

And one last thing. How many threads have you started on this issue now? It would be better to stick with one thread, so that all of your information is in one place, rather than scattered all over. Now, if I want to remember what you've already done and what I've already suggested, I either have to ask you or search through a bunch of old threads. Something to keep in mind....

 

well only 1 other carb thread about the mechanical secondaries, but it was high jacked so i made a new one.

But it looks like maybe ill be geting a new carb so hopefully I wont start anymore threads. just incase I dont get a new carb how do i unclog whatever is cloged? a rebuild?

 

Yes, a full rebuild of the carb...

 

ok, thats what i thought. Oh well I need to turbo prep anyway.

thx for your help and sorry for the repost.

 

ok well after 1 last inspection be4 i removed the carb for antoher rebuild i looked into the carb and the 2nd jet is shooting fuel now, but not till 3-4k and right be4 is starts it bogs down like is starving.


also whats the long nut next to the idel screw for?

 

Just off the top of my head, I believe that is where you adjust the accelerator pump.

 

its right to the right of the screw, if your facing the idel screw. witch way should i adjust it to get rid of the stalling/boging?

 

Is it possible to switch the fuel lines? I mean there are 2 hoses that go into the top on the carb. Is it possible to switch them? I dont wanna switch them im just wondering that maybe they got switched be4 i got the carb.

 

Ok, I have taken off the carb rebuilt it. Tryed to tune it but it still sputters when i give it some gas. I tryed adjusting the AP but no matter how much i move it in our out it sputters. Could this be a vac leak, with the air breather off you can hear it gulp air down then the other barrel starts shooting fuel. thats around 2500 rpms.

also if im stoped and i pump the brakes the car idles down sometimes alot sometimes just a little.

also im turbo preping my carb, ill be driving the car for about 2 1/2 weeks till i get the turbo installed. what can i ditch? are stock nikkis equiped with vac 2nd? if so how can i take off that shyt? I already did the 2nd mod.

 

Hey make sure you dont have a leaky intake manifold gasket, just an idea. Spray some carb cleaner around your carb and intake to see if you have a leak.

You can get rid of the rats nest if you dont have to pass inspection, many threads about this, takes about two hours and a little patience. The secondary vaccum pod can be removed, its the one on the far right when looking from the driver side of the car. Just a few bolts and remove any attatchments to the pump near the bottom.

 

Idle changing when pushing the brake pedal is often a sign of a vacuum leak. Have you read through the carb section, under faqs, in the stickies?

 

WHere...where is faq's...i press faq's and i get this stupid little menu about the site...where damn it lol

 

i have already removed the rats nets, and i think i have a brake booster leak, thx 81gsl12a for that bit of info.
