siteunseen Posted July 22, 2017 Share #13 Posted July 22, 2017 What kind of air filter are you using? Have you ran it with no filter or housing just straight air through the SUs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridzNJ Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share #14 Posted July 22, 2017 I was always told scoring meant any signs of excessive wear. Just meant the plugs looked in good shape. I will post pictures of the plugs asap away from the car at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridzNJ Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share #15 Posted July 23, 2017 It definitely smells like fuel on the plugs. I have good spark at the plugs during and after. It is possible I didn't set the floats properly. What method would you recommend? I can take them back apart and see if this is the issue. Also siteunseen, I am using K and N filters, having the filters off did not seem to change anything, neglected to mention I bought new filters when I did the carb rebuild so I do not believe they are in anyway clogged or blocking airflow.

Mark Maras Posted July 23, 2017 Share #16 Posted July 23, 2017 There's been a lot of discussion about float adjustment methods. Any service manual will get you close to the right adjustment if it's done with care. As a final fuel height check, you can remove the suction chambers and pistons, with the mixture screws 2 1/2 turns down, look down at the top of the fuel nozzle. The fuel level should be about 1/16" below the top of the nozzle opening. Also be sure the floats pivot on the rods freely and the needle and seat operate properly.

HybridzNJ Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share #17 Posted July 23, 2017 I have the original service manual somewhere so I should be able to use that for reference. I will start plugging away at the list and let you all know how I make out. Again thank you everyone for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
