Need help !!! Weber float level tool

The problem is not with the jetting. I believe it is with the carbs or intake.

We have tired many different jets.

Jac Mac,

I understand it is not a normal condition but the motor does not idle correctly. Its like it is running on 6 cylinders.

It might be a float issue, carb issue, or intake leak.

I would like to have someone install these carbs on their car or if they have a pair that I can borrow to test and see if it is the carb.

I have been fighting this problem for a very long time now. And now that I am paying someone they are in they same position I left the car.

The side with the webers running correctly does not glow, it runs perfect. Its the passenger side that misses.

I am trying to rule out the carbs but its hard with not knowing someone to exchange or swop carbs.

I dont know where to turn

And I really dont think its that difficult to get this thing tuned.

any vacuum leak will ruin a tune on webers dramatically

I agree,

I am not the one tuning the carbs. But I find it hard to believe that I had a leak in the first place when I took it to him. He rebuilt the motor and the intake gasket looked good. He then reassembled the motor and we are at the same problem.

I was thinking and tell me if you think this will work.

Remove the carbs, then make an adaptor of some sort to connect to the intake opening of the carb. Connect this adapotor to a vacuum and measure the suction. making sure the intake valve is closed.

continue to do this across all ports of the carb make sure intake valves are close with each cylinder test.

I am hoping that this test will assure that there are no vacuum leaks.

What do you think?

it would seem to me that you could not balance the carbs if you had a vacuum leak that affected only 2 of the carbs. Can they be balanced? If you hold the balencer on each of the carbs and run it up to 2500 or so , if 2 are out of balance you should be able to tell, at least you will know which carbs are out of synch
