They could explain fuel in the fuel lines but not enough entering the bowls. Carbs really don't need much fuel pressure. They'll even run fine using a gravity feed. Thanks for the advice. I opened the banjo up to find a bunch of garbage in there filters looked fine but there was a lot of crud in there. I cleaned it up and later today I’ll see if it does anything thanks. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65207-carb-issue/?page=2#findComment-618537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex240z Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share #14 Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) I got the car to idle 700-800 only when the Jett nut is all the way down. The front car feels like it isn’t running at all. No matter what I do with the flow meter the red ball doesn’t move on the front. She backfired a lot because it’s running way to rich IMG_2992.MOV Edited March 26, 2021 by Alexg280z Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65207-carb-issue/?page=2#findComment-618573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex240z Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share #15 Posted March 26, 2021 You can see that there is a vacuum leak in the video but I got it taken care of. Going to mess around more with the screws and see what I get.

siteunseen Posted March 26, 2021 Share #16 Posted March 26, 2021 Try turning #10s in this diagram. I'm pretty sure that opens the air up so your red ball thing will be higher.

siteunseen Posted March 26, 2021 Share #18 Posted March 26, 2021 I use the "snail" for air so I'm not familiar with your thing, sorry. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65207-carb-issue/?page=2#findComment-618578 Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted March 26, 2021 Share #19 Posted March 26, 2021 After thinking about it the reason I bought the Empi flow meter was that it lets you open up side air input letting it breathe without choking out the carb.

Aw I see. What do you think the Jett issue stems from? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/65207-carb-issue/?page=2#findComment-618586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted March 26, 2021 Share #21 Posted March 26, 2021 I'm just guessing but with the needle dropped all the way down you have a fuel starvation problem. Clogged lines, tank, pump the whole $^!# and caboodle. I'm not able to point one thing out but posting your problems will help the guys get it figured out sooner or later hopefully. Any details you can remember will help. It's frustrating for sure but you have to go through the crap piece by piece to get it right. Sorry but there's no breaking line on this stuff. We'll hit the problem sooner hopefully than later. Hang in there. More details will help I promise.

siteunseen Posted March 26, 2021 Share #22 Posted March 26, 2021 We've had some bad weather all day and I'm wide awake. Lucky for me I have a low psi electric pump from my boat motor that I've used in tandem with a small Jerry gas can up front to bypass all the fuel BS and run 3.5 psi to my carbs. It ran good so I worked my way backwards. Rebuilt carbs, dropped the tank and cleaned it then coated with a fuel resistant liner Red Kote and it's been perfect ever since.
