OMFG! well i just rebuilt my carb, slapped it on, cranked it up and BEHOLD..... MORE PROBLEMS THAN WHEN I STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **** THIS ****!

 

Have you tried taking a breather?

 

When you come back, tell us whats wrong ok?

 

ok ok, the initial reason i rebuilt the carb was only because it would leak down fuel when i shut it off and that caused startups to be annoying. OTHER THAN THAT, she ran BEAUTIFULLY!!!!! plenty of power, very responsive, vaccum secondaries working great and kicking in just right. now, the throttle is all messed up staying high and not so responsive, the secondaries dont open at all, startup isnt any easier and i spent so much damn time working on it. i dont understand. i'm swaping to a tII motor but not for a good while. i want this thing to run, if i could just fix this carb situation she will rule again. it's a very strong motor!!!! AHHHH! i'm not as mad as i was, but still this sux ***.

 

what do you have in it now?? i myself am planing to do a turbo II swap, when you do yours let me know how it goes

 

right now i have a 12a pretty well modded. it puts down 110 rwhp; when the carb works!!!!!!! i'll keep in touch though as i go thru the motor process with my tII. by the by though, anyone selling a 12a carb that WORKS???????? PLEASE!!!!

gimme gimme gimme!

 

Carb problems suck, I speak from experience...

Rebuilding them... is a bitch. I bought another carb to avoid having to reassemble my nikki... and now *this* one doesn't want to co-operate!

Just take a breather, and take your time figuring things out.... It is afterall your first rebuild isn't it? The fact that it actually starts at all is a tribute to the fact that it's in one piece! Now that you've done it once... if you have to you can take it apart again, and see what went wrong.... or give up, grab some dough, ship it to Carl, and sleep more easily (my chosen solution if mine doens't start working soon!)

Good Luck! I really hope it starts figuring itself out for ya!

did you take off the throttle cable and put it back on wrong? How high dose it rev?
