Re: Need help to set idle
Just curious again, did you do the quick test; pull throttle out a little 'key off'
now turn engine over with your hand over carb. If its not sucking your hand, thats
reason why you only have 14 inches at idle. Example we have a late Mercury in a
F6 that runs like a kitten, problem is you have to tow it. When I put my hand over
the carb. there is nothing then when running vac gauge is way down there. Haven't got to it yet, but my bet is the gasket failed 'inside the valley chamber' so in case any
new or old carburetor needs suction to pull fuel through venturies idle passages and
such. I been whatching this post and for kicks stuck a vac. gauge on my car 59A and
I got steady 20 inches at idle......doctors stethoscope........ threw my timming light out 50 yrs ago . the vac gauge rules.
