Picked them up last week, pulled them down gave them a good clean.Had to file down some of the manifold and file in some locators for the exhaust mani studs. Rigged a throttle cable for now and battery is on charge tonight. They look cool. « Last Edit: September 27, 2013, 06:06:25 PM by Mr Fox » Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!"

I ended up running a fuel pressure regulator as I don't have a "stock" fuel pump, the pump I have on there must be pushing decent PSI as fuel was flooding out the top of the vent hole on the last SU. It also did this with my 350 holley. Regulator on and rev's have come down and my risks have dropped drastically of a fire I reseated the jets and re aligned the needles but number 1 carb I cant get down to a nice idle rev range even with the idle screw backed right off, I have dropped of the linkage's so the carbs don't foul each other. I'm thinking fuel might still be making it's way past the jet, more than should be. Going to check the jet + needle seating position in number one carb again. Having fun doing this spending an hour here and there. So I might go get three sets of needles + jets and try again. 0A6 from what I have read, is a good match for a 202, I shall find out. « Last Edit: September 27, 2013, 09:09:08 AM by Mr Fox » Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!"

As to the strange idle on one, with the linkages off, using a shortish length of of garden hose 300mmplace one end just in the throat of each cabbie and listen for differences, check s the balancethen with the tacho check the mixture difference when lifting the passion Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."

Not that some don't deserve that...... Im not going to have much choice, my air reader is in storage and I cant be bothered searching through lots of box's for it. Any way that's the way it was done in the day. I have seen Harry firth do it this way. Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!"

Not that some don't deserve that...... There is another old bloke who does it that way too! It can be quicker and is easier on lumpy cams too, (as long as you aren't deaf ) Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."

Fingers can measure that! Might check the butterfly seating position.

HAHAHAHA I missed that completely very good mate!!!Bruce, maybe it's time to get a phone with a bigger screen Found the culprit today, vac advance nozzle was not enabling my butterfly to completely close, a quick file and now she idles nicely.

I expect the previous owner just put up with the problem!(BIGGER phone, hehehe I have a Samsung Note 2!, I think it lack of proof reading before posting and jostling on a crowded bus, but I will be more vigilant, for a while anyway Logged "I refuse to be what you call normal."
