    Pict 34 carb and idling!

    Going back to tuning carb, did you set throttle stop screw before touching anything else?. Must be done or everything else is a waste of time. Also check choke when cold, flap should be open a tad, not tight shut. If adjustment required slacken the three screws and rotate choke body as...

    Pict 34 carb and idling!

    Im well familiar with tuning carbs. With these Solex 34's i turn in small screw very slowly till revs just start to fall, then turn back out till it smooths out, the another half a turn, then set idle speed with large screw. That said i usually hook up my CO meter, fine adjust if necessary to...

    Dual port Inlet manifold boots

    BTW, many new carbs are reported to have swarf present!. You could whip out the drain plug at the bottom of carb, stick a rag there to see if any thing comes out. If you wanted to check fuel level you can take the top of the carb off in situ, measure down from top lip to fuel, i think it should...

    Good Luck with that👍 As you know ,the air filter stand is usually cut out for twin carb set ups, but are often re instated too, just a thought, as without it your always sucking in cold air.

    Dual port Inlet manifold boots

    I fitted these EMPI split boots and am well impressed with the design & quality, imo standard boots are flimsy by comparison. Looking at all the 5 star reviews on JK I'm not the only one, just sayin.😊

    Pict 34 carb and idling!

    That could well be your problem, the procedure is well documented as you'll already know . I went through pretty much the same experiences that you are now, the more i got most things back to standard, the better it ran, especially cold start up to warm / hot running, fully functional vacuum...

    Pict 34 carb and idling!

    The setting for accelerator pump is usually middle diddle. I had cutting out at junctions when set to rich. You need to check fuel pressure. Have you checked fuel level in carb?, adjusted by thickness of washer under float valve. Is the choke fully open when warmed up?. What distributor are you...
