at-jefft Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Any word on the carb parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayz Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Jeff, Sorry for getting back to you so late. My carb was buried in boxes. Pieces are not good, at least not good enough to sell. Sorry about that. You can find a cheap set, I am sure. Dayz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at-jefft Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Its fine, I ended up ordering a rebuild kit from zt, I figure its worth saving headaches in the future. Thanks again for all your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at-jefft Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 I rebuild the back carb and put it back on the intake and The back 3 cylinders STILL DON'T FIRE!!!! I even swapped the floats too. What is going on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at-jefft Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 I adjusted the float all the way up( really high fuel level) Still didn't fire. But when I put my hand over the throat it revved up really fast. What does this mean? Also While adjusting the float normally I noticed after I ran the engine then stopped it to pull the floats, The front bowl had quite a bit of fuel in it and the Rear always had very little.

at-jefft Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 I squeezed the short fuel line from the bowl to the front carb, and the engine died, and when I squeeze the rear one, nothing changes. not even rpms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayz Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Jeff, I said it before...disconnect the fuel inlet from you rear carb and see if you have gas coming...Make sure gas is going in the carb. Make sure all vacuum are plugged, are they adjusted properly? Make sure the bowl vent is free...It is just a vent. Also, I don't see your fuel return line from the pictures, are you sure its there, is your pump pumping enough gas? Remember that you need a return line (or a sort of bypass), and your lines need to be clean, not plugged in any way. Maybe his can help...I only have 2 vent for the booster and vac. advance, but you get the point. Save the pic and Zoom in. It was not finished at that point.

I have fuel. chamber vents arent plugged. I switched the the carbs front/back again, and the only rear cylinders fired after the switch. So It has to be the carb. I rebuilt it with the ZT kit (once and then did it again) The cylinders still won't fire. I am out of things to do here. I have replaced (twice) nearly everything in the bad carb and it still will not work, I'm extremely frusterated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at-jefft Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Figured out the issue, Finally! My ghetto fuel rail was not level. So it was starving one carb. I zip tied it in a somewhat level position and its running great after tuning my SU's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
