You maybe flooding, try leaning out the idle circuit, see it that helps.

*I'm not by any means an expert, but I ran a 32/36 DGV on my Sentra and the only times it would shut off is when it was cold and the idle circuit was running rich.*

let me ask you this.when you put the fresh new carburator on the car,did you press the gas pedal a few times before you started it?.

Good question...

Lets say I diddnt, did I flood it? How about if I poor some gas down the carb, does it matter which hole it goes down. I do this while cranking right?

not while cranking, do it prior, use bout a 1/4 cup of fuel to prime it, pump the pedal a few times as well, u can't really flood the motor unless u poured tons of fuel in, but jsut stay away from the exhaust pipes cuz when ever i prime my buggy i get flamethrowers

Thanks man i'll give it a try

So I got some gas poured it from the top of the carb and low and behold the gas comes thru the gasket. So i'll be putting a new one on and some new seal. Whats a good seal to use, do you guys know? I got some cheap autozone shit that obviously sucks.

ICP Sux0rZ! · Apr 16th, 2005, 11:33 PM

u put a sealant on the gasket? hmm i left mine dry and i have 8 gaskets stacked on each other and no leaks at all

did u check to make sure the carb is sitting completly level? my problem was the generator was hitting the choke so i had to lift is 1/2 an inch wiht gaskets

nizmo559 · Apr 16th, 2005, 11:36 PM

No seal huh, well i'm new to carbs so maybe I shouldnt put any. You know I have this spacer thing that I used on my other carb, that I diddnt put on this time, thats probably making it not level. I bet thats it. So i'll put that on no seal and see how it goes.

ICP Sux0rZ! · Apr 16th, 2005, 11:39 PM

is the spacer a peice of metal? if so put a gasket on each side

heres my carb and the insane amount of spacers plus some homemade ones (my carb is on a bug motor so thats why it looks different)

nizmo559 · Apr 16th, 2005, 11:41 PM

Its not metal, I think its plastic. What car is that, do you own a 510 too?

Oh that car looks crazy, looks like fun. Yea it took me a while to find one

ICP Sux0rZ! · Apr 16th, 2005, 11:52 PM

yeah it'll be fun when i'm done, but yeah when i got my new carb i ran into the one problem of it not fitting, i'm getting an 1inch higher aluminumriser made for it pretty soon but for now my multi-gasket set up works, but yeah the gaskets should probably be dry make sure all the bolts are tight and makle sure there is no gunk on the bottom of the carb or the top of the piece it connects to, i found using a dremel and a wire brush makes cleaning gunk off very very easy, i've clean all of my wheel cylinders with one, and they work flawlessly now
