GCSS Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share #14 Posted October 9, 2011 I had one on there earlier when the car was running better than it is now. At this point I don't need one of them until I get the engine settled down some. It is just way too wild right now. I either have a leak or possibly unbalanced piston/needle assemblies or both. I am going to Church right now and will be back around 1:00 CST. I went to blue's videos and they are good. I plan to utilize them when I get home. thanksDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCSS Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share #15 Posted October 9, 2011 well...we are rolling again!I believe it was the needle up too far into the piston.I got it to idle now . I adjusted it good enough to go to town and back. good...very good performance. low to no load is crappy though. I'm not going to worry about that until I adjust the valves and get the airflow meter back, and rebuild them and check the floats. at least the idle isn't gone wild anymore. THANKYOU!!!!!you're a real champ!Thanks again! Blue!!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteunseen Posted November 20, 2020 Share #18 Posted November 20, 2020 Mine did that after I rebuilt the motor and put everything back together. I got the linkage flats beside the carbs in the wrong order. Shot up to 3K at start up. Here's a picture you can double check yours to. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symon Capel Posted November 20, 2020 Share #19 Posted November 20, 2020 Does this look wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tooZ Posted November 20, 2020 Share #20 Posted November 20, 2020 Yes that is holding your throttle open. The part on the left and attached to the SU should go between the two pieces on the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7tooZ Posted November 20, 2020 Share #24 Posted November 20, 2020 I recommend disconnecting the choke cables and throttle pedal linkage so there is no pressure on the SU linkages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
