Hello,
Is is critical as far was what RPM I should set the Idle, since I dont have a working tach. and same question about the idle mixture. Should that be set after setting the idle?
When I accelerate up to WOT after about 5 seconds the engine completely falters and begins to stall out and will only continue to run when I back off the throttle. The bowl seems to be completely running out of fuel. I have set the drop and the level to the specs in the rebuild kit but I noticed when I readjusted them from the first time that I set them incorectly it has actually run worse. I had the level slightly too high by 1mm and the drop was way off by 10 mm or so (what ever the distance is between the marking dots on float). So I lowered it that much.
I'm going to pull the plugs and see what condition they are in tomorrow this will tell me if it is running lean. Then I guess I can just start raising the level slightly and the drop as well. 1986 mercarb 140
