Alright, With the rear throttle blades cracked open a bit I closed the primary throttle blades. Thinkin that would put me close. I tried the mix screws again, it either didn't do anything or the engine increased RPM a little. Now I have the mix screws 1 turn out. I called it quits forthe night, it's dark and I was tired of burning my hands trying to adjust the secondary screw.



Yes it does. Ok, I will try that tomorrow night. Thanks!

I would almost bet that is your prob mine did the same thing i tried for months to adjust mine..... It has heard some pretty bad words come outa my mouth... i even took it to a shop where a friend of mine works he has been a mechanic for 35 years and he told me he didnt know what the hell was wrong with it...

Progress...

I can kill it now with the mix screws!

I have the secondary throttle plate screw almost all the way loose. I have the primary idle/throttle plate screw almost all the way loose. The front mix screws are out 1 turn, the rear's are out 1/2 turn. Idle is at 900 RPM. It has 14 " of vacuum. Mavrick, thanks for the tip. I suppose I'll have to take it and get it dyno'd to see what the air/fuel mix is. Baby steps but it's progress....

I checked the primary pump, I think it may have had a little tension on it.

Now I just need to figure out the mix.....

Good to hear, thx for the stealth tip in another post. read an article today where they made an extra 35 horse with that intake and carb swap. I'm goin with it. maybe a dumb question, but did you check the float levels now that it's suckin less fuel at idle?
