List To Get It Running..
#24
Fell free to start a thread about your project Jeff.. It would be nice to get some more Repu traffic in here.. Plus the first gen guys have much in common with us.... I'd also like to know what kind of Carb that is..

I couldn't tell you. I've never tried to tune it, but I have played with different fuel pressures. When it was stock ported, it seemed to run best with 4.0 PSI (according to the cheapo regulator, but Racing Beat suggests 4.5 PSI). Now that it's been ported and almost done breaking in, it may run a little different. The first oil change is coming up. I'll check the plugs at that time.
Out of two Dellorto carbs on two different engines, this one has always had a bad idle. It has improved since I rebuilt the engine and now runs like it did on an '86 6 port in my friend's '79 SA. Perhaps the idle circuit is gummed up?
