    Question carb q's

     



    hey its me again.. got another question for you guru's out there...
    after all the help you guys gave me to tune my carb, it idles so much better.. but there is one prob.. my throttle response has went to the crapper! it will die if i give it gas to quick..and im not talking about stompin on it.. so i heard to let the engine cool, and pull the throttle cable back to make sure the accel. pump is spraying the gas, and it is, well! so i dont know why its response went to crap?its a barry grant silver claw 750.. need pic let me know! thanks guys!

    assuming everything is functioning properly...it sounds to me like it may be lean...sometimes a bigger squirter will solve it. I had the same problem on my 454. everything was fine, than I swapped the performer intake for a Performer RPM & had the same symptom(Holley 770). I swapped the #25 squirter for a #32...helped a bunch. Still think I may need to jet up a couple sizes to...maybe Ill do it tomorrow. John
