    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.

Topend rebuild complete.....now for the questions :)

Yes, the vacuum line is connected to the number 2 carb.
The factory emission caps are still on the mixture screws, if they are still at the factory setting.....I would assume that would be far too lean?

As for the stalling. The rich condition does make sense, as it acts just like a carbuerated car that has been flooded (once it does start it is real slow to actually pick up speed, and it takes a minute to "clean out" before it has any response).

I will check the fuel flow out of the petcock with it set on PRIME, if it is flowing a good amount of fuel I will call it good for the time being (I may still order a Pingle just so I can have a manual petcock :D.

Either way I have some time, due to the weather for the next week or so, to mess with it. Hopefully I will find something that just jumps out at me as the cause.

I will keep yall posted as to what I can find.

Thanks again.
 
While you had the carbs off did you keep them upright. Reason being is if you turned them upside down, dirt can get into the passage ways.

Your problem to me sounds like main jet or too low of float level. With everything new in the engine it has better vacuum so it needs more fuel. A bigger main jet or cleaner main jet passages are in order. Pull the carb's off and without turning them upside down remove the bowls. Remove the diaphram slides, then remove the main jet and washer. The part that the main jet screws into need to be removed also. Carefully use a 1/4" socket extension to push up on it(there is a pin that keeps it from spinning, make sure that one of the flats of the 1/4" extension is facing the pin). Once you have these items removed, if you have discovered dirt anywhere, you need to completely disassemble the carb's and soak them in Berryman carb cleaner(as per the directions on the can). Then assemble them with new carb kits.

If you are uncomfortable doing the carb's, I'll walk you though it. They are easy to work on. barefooter1960@yahoo.com

Good luck,

I hopefully will be able to do a rebuild on the carbs this weekend/next week.

Also, where is the best place to get a carb rebuild kit (assuming this is just gaskets?)?

I will definatly let you know if I need any help.

Thanks again.
