Can't get it to idle right!

Thanks, all for input:D

I don't think it's a vacuum leak, because spraying the manifold and carb base with starter fluid didn't effect anything.

I set the initial timing at 12 deg. btc at about 900 rpm vacuum advance blocked, but hard to say because it doesn't stay there long

Yes a cast iron magnum manifolds so no heat riser valve so I don't think that's it.



I think your on to something there redfish. I have a clear filter, and it does look like it's running out of fuel. What did you do to fix this?

That's probably not enough. Most folks would suggest starting at 18-22 with the vac plugged.

Air or lack of fuel at the filter isn't abnormal, having it cycle when hot is though.

Does the idle only fluctuate or stall when warm? Or all the time? Electric or mechanical fuel pump?
