    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Commented on your video.......the answer to your problem is that you need to use the valves in the lines to dampen the vacuum just untill the needles steady themselves..then your ready to make adjustments.
 
Got it. Ill put those valves on the lines today and adjust them. I'll post another video after :) thanks!
 
Is it true with this type of gauge that it shouldn't matter necessarily where the gauge needles are measuring (as far as "normal", "late ignition", etc) and just focus on getting them equal with #1 and #4 just a tick higher than #2 and #3)?
 
I go for all of them as close to each other as possible...but read a service manual to be 100% sure.
 
i was talking more about the actual text on the gauges...and the measuresments....5, 10, 15, etc. do all the carbs have to read in the normal range or is it more important that the readings are about even, no matter where on the gauge they read. hopefully my question makes sense. maybe i am wording it incorrectly.

since my exhaust has a crossover i'm looking for #1 and #4 just a tick higher than #2 and #3, according to the manual.

it more important that they are close to each other than where on the gauge they read. Mine usually end up reading around the 8 to 10 range on the outer scale.
 
Maybe it's just me, but it seems to be just a tad slow to return to idle then I'm use to. You may want to fatten up the pilot screws just a tad. Maybe 1/2 turn out and see if that improves the throttle response. Otherwise is sounds sweet.
 
will do, thanks!;)
