Sent the carb to GR Imports for a rebuild. It runs great now. :). Still a little rich, but starts and runs every time. Now, does anyone know...
Replaced both solenoids. The lower one still worked fine. But the new one seems stronger. It's still running so rich it fauled the plugs in 15...
Where does the line going to the top of the silver round thing come from? I'm guessing the charcoal canister. I get no vacuum at idle or under...
Replaced plugs and truck runs great off idle, still way rich at idle or low throttle.
Choke pull off not working, but choke itself works perfectly. Fast idle works too. It was not touching the follower because I had the normal idle...
Finally pulled the lower solenoid. Still could not get it all the way out(wire was stuck on white plastic cover). But it seems to be moving. I...
Back at it. Truck ran great with power valve connected to choke vacuum line and that solenoid blocked til last weekend. Running rich again....
Shogun, Can you pull the vacuum line going to the big silver actuator and see if you have vacuum at idle, and under throttle?
Guess I need to check the throttle control solenoid and valve. That appears to control the vacuum on what I think is the power valve, the large...
I pulled the solenoid and it was working. At least until I got it halfway out. I twisted it a quarter turn and it start working again. But it...
Thanks, I believe I read where you pulled yours without pulling the carb. Which way do you recommend?
I'm at my wit's end. Plugs are black. Engine sputters. Idle adjust has little effect except to keep it from dying. If I pull a vacuum line,...
checked a few things. Timing looks good, maybe 0-2 deg advanced Plugs look good. Compression 125,135, 138 in cyl 1,2,3 A little lower in...
Back from the archives, the acty is stalling on the steepest section of my drive, with four people plus boating gear in the bed. It used to run...
try your local electrical supply house for exit/ups batteries, and the like. much cheaper than odyssey and same technology. Powersonic Part #...
I second the powersonic, just picked one up with more cca than stock for $79, without the matching posts :(
OldMachinist, is there a way to plumb around the solenoid and give up a little runability to get rid of the bogging?
Carb was very clean, but sprayed it out. That and seafoam in the gas tank has gone a long way to improve things
thanks machinist... now I just need to figure out how to open it up and clean it
pulling carb btw, my comp gauge doesn't have the one way valve (you have to remove it to check rotary engines) so I have to watch it spike. I...
