ok, so i got the carb rebuilt, tonight went to start it and it cranked right up. then i shut it off, tried to crank it up again and nothing. i looked at the front bowl and it's completely full. how do you adjust the floats so they come down just a bit? get a new spring? one more thing, would that cause my idle to be all lame? cause now it idles really rough, and there CANT BE A VACCUM LEAK!!! AHHHHHH, i have searched and replaced everything.

 

mine wont idle beacuase of dead apex seal springs

just a thought

 

well, every now and then it will hold it's idle. but after i run it down the road and what not, and come to a stop it wants to die. when i shut it off the front bowl is FULL. so it's like a flooding problem maybe. when i first put the carb on there, it actually held a really good idle. slowly today during the time i had it out on the road it got worse and worse. i JUST DONT GET IT! AHHHHH!

 

is the vent solinoid hooked up
the valve stem seat on the frot bowl may be bad

 

Sounds choke related

 

i am forking lost on this. brand new plugs and it idles very choppy. i'm checking the floats again tomorrow. and the needle seats are new. ?????? ugh. i'm thinking of going back to the 13b n/a swap that i already have almost all pieces for. geez :-/

 

Did you replace the needles and seats without resetting the float level?

 

WTF, OMG, BBQ!!!

 

Yea re-check the float drop and shutoff. Look at the manual for info on it.

 

Here's a thought...ditch the Nikki.

 

lol, i am feeling that nate.

 

HEY HEY HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blasphemer!

 

Haha

 

CARL! i set the floats to spec. they were off a bit. i havent put it back on yet, but i was wanting to make sure that it's ok to plug the aab hose. i didnt do it before and i'm thinking it MAY have added to the junk idle sometimes, idunno. let me know please!

 

Yes plug the AAB hose on the manifold end.

 

OK, i reset everything. it's ALL GOOD. car W O N T S T A R T............. ummmm. the floats are only half way full now, plugs are good. aab is blocked. whyyyyyyyy

 

Halfway in the window is perfect! Will it shoot gas if you pump the gas pedal? She may be flooded now, look into it some more and let us know whats up.

 

i needed to jump it, the battery died from last nights continuous starting errors and it started raining so i had to prolong till tomorrow morning! i will let you know though. i'm getting real excited, i want this baby to run right!!!!!!!! hahahah, thanks for all the help! until tomorrow fellas,

 

OK OK OK, well after resetting the floats here is whats going on:

it cranked right up. i let it warm up a minute. turned it off. it cranked right up again! woot. now, when i took it out for a drive, it was very underpowered. the secondaries were kicking in, but it just wasnt the umph that it even had when it was way fuxd up. but it cruised nicely with out any real bucking or anything. so i park it and let it idle. it's idling a little rough, i messed with the mix screw and it changed nothing. i look down the carb and see that the primaries are spritzing the fuel correctly, but the left barrel of the secondaries was also DRIPPING fuel. only the left (from the passenger side). sooo, i think that may be causing my underpower ness too? what could this be from?

 

Re Check the sight glass for that barrel thats dripping.

Are your secondaries mechanical or vacuum?
Look on my cardomain page for a possible fix (down near the bottom of the page (carb return spring)

HOLY ***! hahahahhahaahha THANK YOU CARL! i forgot to put that thing back on the spring lock. all the power is back!!! YESSSS! but, i still have a slight rough idle, and it sputters when i drop a gear real fast. i think it's from too much fuel in the secondaries at the burst. it's still dripping in that one barrel. hmmm. i'm about to check the rear float window.

 

Glad to help! Keep up the good work, your getting there!

 

ok, looked at the rear window, it is around half way, maybe just a tad under. ????? my secondaries keep getting gas in them. man this sux. what could this be?

 

This is better than a soap opera, I can barely wait for the next episode! "Will FBII get his carb sorted out? Find out in the next episode of 'As the Carb drips"...

 

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA niiiiiice! i will win the game!
