Hey all!
BTW, thanks for all your responses on my many questions during this rebuild,
it has been a learning experience to say the least. I have very limited
time and access so the restoration has been a drawn out process but
hopefully I'm closing in on it.
After your advice on my 2L, I was able to take the vacuum line OFF the
manifold port and place it ON the carb vacuum port. Made quite a bit of
difference <g>. I am still experiencing a higher idle than I perceive to be
acceptable. I can't get it any lower than about 800 rpm. Even after
screwing the idle adjust screws all the way out, the motor will not die.
The intake vacuum @ 1000rpm is approximately 18-20 in-HG. Is this
acceptable? I am fairly certain I am not leaking around the insulator
blocks and the carbs are brand new Z-therapy rebuilts (is that an oxymoron?
<g>). Are there any other ports on the intake or carbs that could be
leaking or do any of you have other possibilities?
Thanks!
Nathan
