Anybody have any tips to -easy- accomondate the right hight without having to try 10 times back and forth which I allready have been doing without any luck :(
By the way the carbs are the reproduced 51,5 idas with a glass ball vent.. Hope somebody can help.. Jakob Title: Re: 2387 engine Post by: Sander/DVK on April 13, 2008, 22:51:21 pm You forgot the ignition wires! ;D

What fuel pressure are you running? Title: Re: 2387 engine with carb issue Post by: GetBackOnTrack on April 14, 2008, 21:52:04 pm 3.4 psi.
Title: Re: 2387 engine with carb issue Post by: BeetleBug on April 14, 2008, 21:54:38 pm 3.4 psi. I had to turn mine down to 1.9 to make them work. 51,5 with glass ball vent, 2386ccm, FK98... Title: Re: 2387 engine with carb issue Post by: GetBackOnTrack on April 15, 2008, 06:54:20 am Interresting beetlebug, im gonna try that next time I get the chance to work a little on the car.
But the funny thing is I put my buddys floater and vent in my carbs, (he has a set of aftermarket 48 ida with steal vent) and the problem was solved.. But I think he wants them back again :P Title: Re: 2387 engine with carb issue Post by: BeetleBug on April 15, 2008, 07:57:50 am Interresting beetlebug, im gonna try that next time I get the chance to work a little on the car.

Title: Re: 2387 engine with carb issue Post by: GetBackOnTrack on April 15, 2008, 09:21:43 am Maybe because of the steel vent yes, but dont know for sure... Is the glass ball vent normally more sensitive than the steal ones?

This picture makes me itch!!! Title: Re: 2387 engine with carb issue Post by: GetBackOnTrack on April 17, 2008, 20:32:45 pm So, I got the problem fixed I think :-\ Bend the little thing on the floater back and forth a couple of times and came up with a setting that worked out.But how can I be sure that the chamber is full when the glass ball vent close for the flow? So that I will not run out off gaz when I put the pedal to the metal 8)
