Thanks Folks,
we have the same thoughts...... actually I dropped the intake manifold at a workshop on wednesday for milling to a parallell situation. I couldnt use a spacer due to limited space to the hood, I hope that I can squeeze in a 5 mm heat insulator after milling.
Carb was new, but OK, it has been sitting in petrol for 4 years now, could the needles already be finished? Saw an ad for off/road needles, better when floats are bouncing around? Does these have a spring that closes the needles?
Float adjustment I have tried (not carefully thou.....) only within Edelbrocks recommendations. Will make this again, when the carb is back on horisontal.
More ideas? If I cannot get this sorted out until winter, is next step to make an homemade injection system? My spine tells me there is more problems to discover in that area, than I can ever find in a carb...........
