Thread: Carb question, losing it?

Tweet

Yes!...had a rather successful weekend tuning my carb...stutter is pretty much gone after a bunch of tweaking...test drive...tweaking ...test drive. You know how it goes. Still no carb expert, but like to share what ive learned with others.

Thanks Nova and Denny (interesting website by the way) How does one check the float level on a qjet?

I'll give it a try, thanks. Some repair info I have read references a float gauge (C-4900) that is to be inserted in the vent hole (gauge floats in fuel when engine is idling). I haven't been able to find this gauge anywhere, has anyone heard of this?

i've found the quickest way to adjust carbs nowadays (in the shop at least) is to hook the car up to the 5 gas analyzer.... i get HC and CO levels just to about what spec says for smog laws and keep the idle to about what the book says depending of course whether its been cammed or what not... works like a charm.... can ussually get 'er tuned in about 5 minutes, test drive to be sure and be done..... if you dont have a smog machine though... kinda makes it difficult
