Carburetor Problems maybe
Hi guys..
I've been trying to get Penny running and its not going well..
I have the tank issue solved so my problem really is something other than bad gas.
Fresh rebuilt 170 with FM2 auto. Stock rebuild except its .030. Carb is a F1100 that I rebuilt 2 times now.
I believe I have the timing set at 10* BTDC. can't check becasue the car wont idle.
I checked for vacuum leaks haven't found any.
I used to be able to fire the car up and it would run at a fast idle 1500rpms or so. I had to feather the throttle to keep it running.
I adjusted the idle mixture screw and the idle speed setting to no avail. I can't get the car to idle..
I fouled a set of plugs so I took the carb apart to adjust the float thinking that was why its rich. now that its back together. It back fires.. So I rechecked timing and adjusted the valves and well now it wont even run at the 1500rpms. It will fire and stay running as long as I don't let up off the throttle as soon as I let up it back fires and stalls.. backfires through the carb..
Any ideas? I'm getting ready to sell this hoopty..
