Got the carb reset as well as my new cable and bracket. Painfully I had to cut the bracket as the part for the springs was hitting the AC compressor lol.
With the t slot at a square, and about 16 degrees initial timing it idles at a little over 600. Probably fine for this motor as my AC doesn’t work so it won’t be pulling any power, probably will just need a kick up module for when the compressor is running.
I think the hesitation is from the transmission actually instead of the carb, unless you wouldn’t notice vacuum spiking when the engine lean surges. I recall it did the same thing with the v6 on efi, but how a manual transmission is slipping at a cruise with the clutch fully engaged is beyond me. I don’t smell clutch.
This is probably a stupid question though, so I have the timing up quite a bit running premium, so when the vacuum advance is all in it’s got a lot of timing, would that cause burbling out of the exhaust? I always thought that was retarding the timing. I can hear it when I’m decelerating with my foot barely on the throttle, so it’s cracked open. Fully off no burbles, only decel with cracked throttle
