Re: Air fuel kits
Why did you use a Stromb. when a #59 94 is correct carb for that engine. Is this a new-new one or a rebuilt orig. Who rebuilt it if so. ??? ken ct.

Re: Air fuel kits
If there's something wrong with the carb that a jet change won't fix, Don't forget... Best warranty on the planet.

Re: Air fuel kits
Dont know where he got it Max or what it was new or rebuilt. If it was yours i know you will take care of it. Sometimes new to some people means a carb from another car[like a spare of someones]??? Could even be a used one but to them its a "new one" not the old one. LOL. you know what i mean.!! ken ct.

Re: Air fuel kits
Ok guys the 97 is new out of the box. There was a 97 on it but tired. I guess it could have been a 94. I put a new 97 on just for the pure fact summit racing is a block away and figured I could drive the truck faster

I'm the sole USA warranty guy for the English 97's. Holler if there's a problem. Quote:

Re: Air fuel kits
I have an original 94 I would like to get rebuilt. I guess that might be a proper carb for that owner.
Max Why does this 97 foul out plugs so bad |

Re: Air fuel kits
First thing to check is fuel pressure.
Confirm it's 2 to 2-1/2 lbs. If that checks out, you may want to go to .044" main jets. Quote:

Re: Air fuel kits
The next thing to check for is dirty fuel which has contaminated that ball valve inlet not allowing it to seat properly.
If it is fuel-fouling plugs, a jet change would have to be in the magnitude of SEVERAL sizes to fix it. The stock .045 jets will cover a very wide range of operation. |

Re: Air fuel kits
Would this seat cause the truck to stutter or react funny once in awhile. It feels like it shuts down for a split second and runs after that.

Re: Air fuel kits
I have 3/4 webber cam. 30over bore. Rebuilt dizzy new coil and ballast resistor. I bought the 97 because the 94 was very tired. I definitely have filter before my pump. I guess crud still could get by.

Re: Air fuel kits
Putting a filter before the pump,supposed the FP diaphram is falling apart it will still get to the carb as the filter is upstream from the pump ??? ken ct.

Re: Air fuel kits
We use an inovate air fuel ratio meter .
weld a bung in the exh pipe up by the manifold,hang the gauge on the dash and read out the a/f ratio as you drive,you can get it to run as sweet as this way. they are available from summit and others Lawrie |

Re: Air fuel kits
I bought the portable Innovate kit at amazon,cheaper than Summit at the time. I have a 97 on my model A and it was easy to jet . I could not read the plugs reliably. I will use it on my AV8 also.Real easy to set up and use,but numbers could be bigger for my old eyes.
