Check the banjo bolt for trash Check the needle valve for trash Check the bottom of the float bowl for debris that could clog the drain Check the jet line for a crimp or possible damage or a flap of rubber or trash blocking flow Check at the bottom of the jet for trash Be methodical, you'll find it fuel lines are fine. Plenty of fuel comes out from the hoses. Banjo bolt clean needle valve clean Fuel leaves the float bowl thru the jet fine it seems. Measured the bowl to have 17mm of fuel.

I changed the needles to n47 and they run super lean. I was running m43. I think I should buy some ztherapy jets and sm needles because there isnt any other reason as far as I see for the carbs not to run.

April 25, 20213 yr comment_620440 If the back one runs properly or slightly rich and the front one doesn't it's not the needles Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65207-carb-issue/?&page=6#findComment-620440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 25, 20213 yr comment_620441 And the fuel nozzle is clear all the way up? If everything is clear and you still have the lean condition on only one carb then you probably have an air leak somewhere on the lean carb or intake manifold Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65207-carb-issue/?&page=6#findComment-620441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 25, 20213 yr comment_620443 Remove the dome and piston. The fuel level should be 3/8" down below the carb bridge. Turn the jet adjustment nut down 9.5-10 turns from the top position. The fuel level in the bowl should be at or near the top of the nozzle at 9.5 turns down. when you're satisfied with the float level return the nozzles to the appropriate height. Usually 2 1/2 - 3 turns down. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65207-carb-issue/?&page=6#findComment-620443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 25, 20213 yr comment_620445 Was thinking same thing as Patcon; a possible air leak in the one carb, spray around intake, etc, with carb cleaner and see if the idle changes. Also, looking at the pic, it doesn't look like the fuel hose between the float bowl and carb is long enough to provide smooth up and down motion of the nozzle (might be the angle of the pic).

Front carb is not doing it’s job at all! Runs super lean no mater how low I put the mixture screw. I used the technique of pushing up the piston about a mm at 1250rpm and the engine starts to die when I do it on the front but will increasing on the rear. I thought it might’ve been my float so I increased the float from 16mm to 12mm. Didn’t do anything. I removed the jet from the bottom and the fuel came out just fine from it. Adjusted the nut all the way up and push the piston up to put the jet back in. Could it be a needle issue? IMG_3184.MOV There might be an air leak. I just don’t know where! I’ll look around. If you listen in this video I think you can hear it when I put the camera closer to the front carb.

April 25, 20213 yr Author comment_620468 Haven’t found anything. Sprayed around but haven’t found anything. I’m surprised these carbs are giving me such an issue.

April 25, 20213 yr comment_620478 Is the screw missing or installed from the other side? Looks like it's missing and I'd guess that's a problem, maybe unrelated to what you have going on but I would get one in there asap.

April 25, 20213 yr comment_620483 So it's not an air leak. That's good but I'd still want to fix it I guess. Not too important if it's secured to the butterfly.
