I had a test drive and after a few miles the car stalls with fouled plugs again. I have dual Weber 40 IDFs with an 009 dizzy and an after market coil from my FLAPS. The timing is right on and the dwell is fine. After cleaning the plugz away I go for a few more miles. Idling they even foul after a few minutes. If I start turning the idle mixture screw out I start to get poping thru the tail pipe, which sounds like a lean condition, but after a few minutes the car stalls with fouled plugz. The car really hasn't idle very smooth. Could the pump by-pass valve be the culprit? I had this thread before and still can't get the car to run right.

QUOTE I don't know if any of you are old enough to remember this, but, several years back there was a guy who developed a carb. that had like 1/3 the parts, was self adjusting for altitude, and gave better gas mileage by more effeciently mixing the fuel with the air. Before he could market it the "BIG FIVE" got a law passed making it illegal, so he could only sell it for the track. Ring a bell? Anyone know what happened to the guy and his product? sounds like another urban myth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) they probebly didn't want to spend the money to get it C.A.R.B legalized variable venturi carbs....Preditor makes them....nothing new, been around for 100 years or longer, some better than others Ford experimented with them as well, ran great if you knew how to tune them, if not, you're screwed and will hate them....they died when FI became more used by the factory there is also supposed to be some "fish" carb.....sounds great, but it's pure BS until I see real testing results and not from one of his groupies |
