looks good. Make sure the vacuum port that aren't being used are plugged.

 

........I knew someone would say that. Now I have to tell you what I did. I changed over that vacuum line and forgot to put the plug back on the large vac fitting on the intake.. I sat there for 10 minutes wondering why it wouldn't idle. One of these days I promise I will pull my head out of my ***. Thsoe 2 spots are the only vac fittings I could find. Im guessing there are more...

 

I can't remember how many ports are in the stock intake. Spray the carb and intake with carb cleaner while the car is running. If idle changes in a specific spot, you have a vacuum leak there.

 

Will do.

 

Update. After changing the vacuum advance to the port on the carb, I capped the only other vacuum fitting I found. I took carb cleaner and sprayed all over the intake and around the carb.. no change in idle. However, now that I have moved that vacuum line it barely wants to idle. It does idle but its barely enough to keep it running and its blowing white smoke out like a smoke machine. Also when I pull the throttle its extremely choppy.. not really driveable. After work I think I'm going to make a video to post up of exactly how the all the connections are and how it sounds.

 

Okay Ive messed with it a while after work and Ive timed it to where it seemed to run the best, as well as watched my brother snap off the forks that hold my throttle cable ... luckily i retrofitted one from one of our many FC intakes. Then I made a new linkage for the secondarys to kick in mechanically (temporarily). still has the stumble which you will hear in the video I made for your guys. Now its time to relax and Enjoy lol..

Sounding better buddy. Coming right along.

 

The bog is just the stumble when the secondaries are opening without enough fuel from the accelerator pump, the vac sec diaphragm will eliminate that. You also likely have a vac leak on acceleration from the port which would pull vacuum to the secondary diaphragm. Next comes tuning the accel pump shot, and then jetting and float level adjustment.

 

yeah the light weight flywheel does make it rev quicker than the heavy stock one does.

 

ooohhh, well I am going to start studying on the acel pump right now.. They "claim" its been jetted for a the streetport but judging how they have tuned it so far...yeah right. I think there was a thread on the recommended jets for this thing, right ? Ive already been playing with the float level. I have it on both sides where if I rock the car it trickles out of the sight plug.


Edit. okay well I watched Holleys video, which I will post below, and basically it's saying my pump nozzle is too small. I will also take a look at the plastic cam and re adjust the pump arm cause I'm thinking mine is loose as hell. ooooo gettin close !

Yeah def. found the problem. First my cams in pretty good shape. However the pump arm and the spring is extremely loose. Also my pump nozzle is a 25. I just saw a thread that calls for a 30 on a stock port. Now I just need to know what size I need for the street port.

 

I can check on my carb when I get home.

 

Im thinking like a 31. Lol I hope advance auto has em !

 

Just ordered the new nozzle from holley today hopefully it will be here soon to solve my problem.

 

keep us posted

 

alright ive been messing with the carb and after studying up on holleys and tuning them, i tuned it to what they said is correct and now my idles pretty well.. so naturally i reach for the idle screw.. its already backed out almost as far as it will go. Now I'm assuming the timing needs retarded. unfortunately I can see the damn marks with the timing light on the shaft. we rolled it over slow to try to see them and i even went around it with soapstone to highlight it.. no go. so looks looks likes im timing it by feel for the moment till i figure out a solution. Oh and my pump nozzle is on THE way. Still gaining progress on it.

 

keep at it and you will get it all worked out.

 

Alright time for an update. I took the 7 on a 2 hour trip to chillicothe, ohio for a kayak/drinking weekend. Besides the cut and lack of power it did great. On the way back I stopped at a speed shop and bought 35 accel pump nozzles. I just got tired of waiting for mine to be shipped. Also when I got home I got the secondary diaphram in the mail from 84stock. Big thanks to you man, you are awesome ! I will be installing both after bit and I will post up another update maybe video and seal the deal on this carb

 

Okay got the pump nozzle on and the diaphragm. 84 stock, that diaphragm works smooth as silk. I put a 35 nozzle on and its got waaaayyyyyy more power however still got the damn stumble. Ive also adjusted the pump arm spring and cam. At this point Im wondering if it is the jets. Or maybe Im just not adjusting enough fuel to it... Ive got it 2 1/2 turns out right now.

 

It could be your accel pump diaphram. They should sell that at the local parts store. You may just need to open up the carb and do some good cleaning.

 

well i noticed after a certain rpm the accel pump nozzles stop spraying completely. Should they do that ?

 

its the mid range power that cuts out..when i first take off its got power then it stumbles at about 3500 for about 3 to 4 seconds then takes of like a bat out of hell. when i shift 2nd its not there cuz Im already above 4500.. facepalm*

 

yup!

 

it seems like it stumbles between the transition from the pump nozzle spraying to when the barrels start.

 

well I think the only thing left it can be is Ive got the wrong pump cam or the power valve
