so i think ive figured out and fixed the problem. i checked the float level...all good. checked timing...all good. I pulled the secondary mettering needles out of my old carb to check the size. Than i pulled the ones out of the new carb, and they were noticably wayyy smaller. So since i new it...

needless to say there has been an ongoing issues to get this thing to run right. long of the short it just started kinda running crappy and ive been scratching my head and replacing parts ever since. i will check timing but dont know how it woould become off in the first place. i did a full...

the base idle is fine, one thing i do want to question is adjusting my secondaries (large plates?) it has vacuum secondaries but there is a little screw behind the linkage that i think can be adjusted. read somethin about how you can adjust it to change the timeing in which it opens...

quadrajet running way rich..how do i fix this? angine is running way too rich. 305 merc with a NEW quadrajet 4 barrel. Idles good and steady. I know the carb is not adjusted right. Took it out and when you get on it it bogs way down. Now if i have the spark arrester and hatch off it gets...

i took it out today without the spark arrester and it ran perfectly..im boggled

his name is mojo. when we got him we saw the mom and dad they were about 15 to 20 lbs. We didnt think he was goin to stay as small as he is but he just turned 1 and hes still in the single digits. we didnt take him on the water last year because he was so small we were afraid hesd overheat...

yea thats what im sayin i dont understand it! i will try and reclean it but it looks pretty clean. Another thing i thought was the butterfly was hitting it but i checked the clearence and its ok

i cleaned it in a solvent tank and it was drying for 2 days, i know its clean. Now my question is if the carb was or is set too rich on my secondaries could it be running too rich with the spark arrester on and than with it off the extra air makes a proper air fuel causing it to run better

I feel ya on the pig jokes. I have a 1yr old mini potbelly who weighs a whoppin 7 pounds. Hes not big like yours but he is certainly a part of our family! Thumbs up for a fellow potbelly owner!!! By soup0027 at 2011-06-04

so i was having engine running problems and i have narrowed it down to whats causing the symptom and i cant make sense of it. With the spark arrester(air filter) on, the engine bogs down and wont get out of its own way when tryin to get goin. I did some experimenting to try and diagnose so i...

Potentially yes, the way they are designed is oil flows through the center to the bottom then out through the side walls. If it is dented it might cause a flow restriction.for the cost to replace why take the risk.

managed to pick this up somewhere in front of my dock. took me a minute to figure out why i kept stalling when i put it into gear! By soup0027 at 2011-05-01
