Here's a theory. . . Since the problem is common to all the carbs you tried, I suspect that the problem isn't directly with the carbs but that another problem is affecting the carbs. I suspect that

I am leaning towards the theory proposed earlier with regards to varying pressures from the pump. Are you using a pressure gauge to monitor the fuel pump pressure at these various rpm? Is it the orig

I haven't worked on a rocket since the early '90s, but that's exactly what I was thinking - resonances are amazing things. I would even suggest changing the mass of SOMETHING in the chain to change t

It may all be academic already. Talked to Frank on the phone today and he assured me I'd be drinking a beer out of the remains of his carbs by next week.... :-) It's hard for me to swallow that all t

Carb mounts (spacers), not motor mounts. Motor mounts don't take as long to change! AS Larry said, cut the fuel pump to isolate that circuit. Ron _____________________________________________________

If the regulator is the standard generic type then the nbrs on it do not denote a psi reading but rather just a reference point. Just because it is on the one setting doesn't mean 1 psi.... You must

Ah, but we did NOT cover what kind of a pump he is using, nor what KIND of regulator it is. Some regulators do a lousy job of covering scenarios where the input pressure varies significantly. Most o

We have also covered the fact that the carbs work perfectly at idle, when the fuel usage is the lowest and the inlet needle should be working the hardest. The ONLY way he could be squirting fuel to t

Make sense. But if it is a vibration issue we just need to change how the engine vibrates. So my suggestion is if you want to find out if vibration is the problem take a piece of rope that has some g

Tim I did try it with the fan belt off only to isolate the genny problem. It still leaked but I did find out what the genny noise was. I shimmed out the fan with a washer and the noise is gone. I jus

No...no...no...Put some rocks in your air cleaners. You need to add ballast to the carbs. Taking the weight off the engine mounts will allow the engine to vibrate more freely. You need to change the

Think BIG!!!! Take the winch cable and run it under the car and up to the intake manifold. Run the winch until the back of the car is in the air. Much easier then getting enough rocks to lift the bac

The rocks are to lower the resonance of the carb assembly...not to lift the back of the car.
