Greetings all,
I have a '75 spit, manufacture date of Jan1975 (according to the plate),
engine number 30xxxU.
I seem to have very little (if any) vacuum at the distributor.
I know about the missing gulp (anti-runon) valve, it is missing, but the
lines are plugged. Take out the plugs and the engine stops. I assume
that plumbing is correct.
The carb (CD150) is in multiple pieces awaiting kit from BPNW ($17.50),
and it looked fairly? good except for a tear in the anti-deceleration?
valving.
Coming from the carb are two pipes that feed a lozenge shaped doohickey,
that subsequently feeds the distributor and (can't remember now)
something else.
What *are* those doohickeys? Are they needed? I figure to take them
out unless some purpose in life can be proven and plumb straight to the
needed locations with 1/4 ID tubing for vacuum.
Am I stupid? Any thoughts, recommendations, etc regarding my loss of
vacuum would be appreciated. When I drove it down here from the buy, it
had *NO* vaccum at the distributor, and I figure that needs to be
rectified.
John
'75 Spitfire
