So I recently purchased new weber 44 idf's. They didn't work out well so I went back to an old set of weber 44 idf's that I had. I thoroughly cleaned the carbs, sprayed carb cleaner through all jets, tubes, etc. I have also balanced the linkage. Set the floats, etc.
The car starts well. Idle's well. When I drive the car I get a major flat spot between 1500 and 3000 rpm's. Below and above the car accelerates normally. What changes should I make? My current setup for my 2258 (dual webers, big cam) -idle 55 -main 160 -et F11 -ac 200 -vents 36 Are there other issues that can cause this type of problem (timing,etc?) |

My problem with 44idf's was a stumble coming off idle. I did some experimenting with different size idle jets and had great improvement. Try a different size idle jet. They are fairly inexpensive and easy to change. You may also have idle jets that are clogged. My engine has 96 pistons and a 76 crank which I think is just a tad short of 2.2. F11 emulsion tubes, 130 mains, 175 air jets. I think I have 51 idle jets. I have no real expertise with Webers. The engine was set up by FAT Performance and any adjustments I made with the carbs. was trial and error. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Cheers, Elliot |
