Thermoquad help questions

Your welcome. Call me Rob.

You did say you rebuilt this unit right?

The Vannth guide lists nothing for your carb. No rods sizes, no jet sizes, primary or secondary.

In the base/bottom section, (AKA the throttle body) in the middle slightly towards the front in between the primaries on the primary shaft is an egg shape lobe. This is the cam. It moves a level that will mechanically give rise to the tree. Those parts are there right?

Your vacuum reading will be low unlike a stock cammed engine. The tree spring is probably stronger than the 10-12 hg your pulling. It was fine for when it was stock but now with the performance cam & a lower vacuum level, it’s not. The mechanical lifting of the tree won’t be timed very well for enrichment but it’ll happen. The cam is a one size fits all.
This spring removal just eliminates the tree early rise and early rich conditions your getting. Let’s see where the heck it is when the throttle opens and the rods are down in the jet like there supposed to be.

The vacuum port in the rear should be full time vacuum so taking a reading from there should do the trick.

When you get closer to it being dialed in with what you have (current rods & jets) you’ll know better under driving conditions where you stand and what direction to go in to adjust that AF gauge in the right direction.
