All Plugs Fouling on Right Bank
Pulled the carb off tonight and having a beer toasting the Pres elect. I took these pics of the primary throttle plates. The t-slot is clearly visible. Using a 1/16" drill bit as a measuring gauge, the exposed t-slot is about half he diameter of the drill bit, so I think I've got about .030-.035" exposed. AJ, is this what you are referring to as t-port sync?
I also see a hole in each throttle valve, which differs than what the factory manual shows. Might this be causing a lean running problem? Remember, this is after an engine overhaul and carb rebuild.
And lastly, after pulling the carb and letting it drain into a pan, the gas came out clear, followed by a few dark drips (see photo). I siphoned pretty much all the gas out before I broke the engine in a few months ago. There was probably a little old gas left and now I'm probably down to the last gallon in the tank, might be running on a little dirty gas.
I plan to put a fresh base gasket on, bypass the fuel tank and have the fuel pump suck fresh gas out of a clean can to see if the fuel tank is the culprit.
