Yeah
Got bored and after making recovery points this morning figured I’d give it another go

The pcv shouldn’t suck air in should it ?

[bumstein]

Never really played with it myself. Quick google http://www.dummies.com/home-garden/car- ... pcv-valve/

[Ratman407]

yeah apparently it shouldn't suck at idle then sucks a little at mid then none at top


we have put it down to issues with vaccum because when you close the choke she will idle a lot longer so the extra pressure is pulling more fuel in giving me idle

[losfer]

generally ive found idle problems to be in 2 places (beyond these is not within the scope of me trying to explain it to you on an internet forum)

1. fuel cut solenoid under accel pump arm , thing with 2 wires going to it. its job is to cut fuel from the idle circuit to stop overunning engine when you switch the ignition off. generally they either work or dont work. when you put your finger on it and can feel and ever hear an audible "click" generally means its ok.

2. idle air bleed jet. in the last pic in this thread you can see a brass jet with two flats on the top . this is the jet that bleeds air with the fuel pulled from the primary slow jet to atomise it and produce a smooth idle. when you take it out there is a tiny tiny hole in the end that gets blocked and causes the car not to idle. normally when it gets semi blocked you can hear a "slurping" sound from the primary venturi. this is because rather than atomising the fuel it is causing droplets of fuel which will cause a poor or no idle situation. unscrew it you can look from the top end through it and should see the hole at the other end. clean it out by either blowing compressed air or ive used a very fine gauge single copper wire to poke through before.

Hope this helps

Well there’s good news and there bad news

Good news might not be the Carby
Bad news I’m sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow so I can get home and find out

[bumstein]

Oh oh.. what happened and what makes you think it’s not the carby now?

[Ratman407]

Might still be the carby but having issues with leads on top of that

One of the leads had come off and is not held on with duck tape
But on the good news the new carbys is here

[bumstein]

Brilliant!! See what happens once it’s in

[pete_79]

Should be able to get a full lead kit with new rotor and cap off ebay for about $60. One of the Sydney sellers will get it to you in a couple of days.

New carby and a tune up kit should help get it humming along again nicely.

[Ratman407]

yeah lead kit on the way

another plus is I'm borrowing the boss's SS with all the fun stuff I forgot what it was like to have power to go

[Ratman407]

So new leads didn’t fix the problem well there might have put I broke the dizzy cap so it got replaced as well

And I have finished the install of the carby pretty much

Enough that she will run and idle I just need a bolt to bolt the hat back on and a little tuning and it’s good to go

[bumstein]

Good result!! Hopefully it all clears up with the new carby on

[Ratman407]

Got to take it for a bit of a test run to go get my lunch
Seems ok most the time expect when you plant it it seems to hesitat then jump a bit before it takes offs
Been told to swap the secondary out of the stock carby into the 4K and should help it

[bumstein]

Sounds reasonable!! The 4K is set up for a different motor so that might work
