Re: Engine goes lean while accelerating under half throttle

Post by Rubarotary »

I can't seem to understand how the carb works , i checked Flow between the ports And they were almost identical so No problegm there but i tried a different carb And then the problem is solved so there has to be something wrong. :-s

Correct me if i'm wrong but the More Flow passes by the venturis the more fuel Will Flow so how can it Be that the Flow is the Same in Both primary holes but one gets No fuel out of the primary Jet And the other one Does ?
There's nothing to shut the fuel to the Jets right ? Only place were the fuel is shut off is in the float Chambers And only because otherwise the fuelpump would Just pump the engine full of fuel.

Is there any place i can find a detailed description on how this carb works ?

Again thank you For All the Help so far.

If the bowl is filling, then you've got a blockage in the primary circuit.

The Jets inside the bowls are different sizes ? Because i replaced them with Jets from another carb so i might Have taken the main one from a secondary :-s
