The mallory was setup for a different engine and I need to reset the spring rate and advance curve, but I have no clue as to what I'm doing. I didn't get any paperwork or advance tool with the purchase (used).
So, anyone have any insight to share? I'm going to buy a spring kit and the advance tool from John @ aircooled.net, but I am wondering what advance curve I should set it up for.
From what I have read the grey/grey spring setup is the one I should use. Currently there is an orange/purple (I think) set of springs in it.
Dave ... I'm sure you've read John's info http://www.aircooled.net/new-bin/viewpr ... 03&cartid= Don't know if you have the vacuum advance model. I've had good luck with the vacuum model (set the vacuum advance unit at 10-12 degrees additional advance) and total mechanical advance to 30 (8 degrees initial) and use grey/grey springs (seems like the accepted choice). I use my timing light to verify the settings, and I don't bend the spring posts to monkey with the spring tension (earlier or later curve) just use what the grey/grey pair gives me. My engine doesn't have a high static compression ratio or a wild cam. Jake uses more initial advance (he also uses the mechanical only advance Unilite) and limits the total to 28 degrees. His engines run higher static compression (and vastly better cam/compression choices) and work better with less advance.
fortyeye wrote:If I have the option (if both carbs have a ported vacuum fitting) I always T them and take advantage of the smoother vacuum signal that two carbs provide. Just make sure you're using the ported fitting. DRLA's and IDA's have a multitude of vacuum ports ... but only one per carb is correct. See the pic below.
Image
Some pairs only have one ported fitting so you don't have a choice. Just don't try using the fittings at the base (carb mounting flange). Those are manifold vacuum and should be capped.

Depends on how deep you want to get into your carbs ... I'll start at square one. If you have stamped chrome air cleaner covers, replace them with aluminum ones, top and bottom. If you have K&N's, add an oiled foam (like Uni-filter) wrap to them. Don't be afraid to open your carbs up (which you'll have to do to set the floats anyway), and clean them/blow out the passages with air. A mechanical fuel pump is fine. You'll have to verify the pressure with a vacuum/pressure guage (Sears). Pressure is critical - 2.5-3.0 psi with the engine running (about 3000rpms). If you have to add a regulator, don't use the cheezy "dial and click" units from your local auto parts store. Holley makes a dandy low pressure regulator. Adjusting the idle mixture is straight forward. The strict procedure is this ... idle mixture screws should be no more than 3/4 - 1 turn out from lightly bottomed. If you have to turn them in farther, decrease the idle jets 1 size smaller. If you have to back them out past 1 turn go one size larger on the idle jets. A rule of thumb - 40 IDF's take a 50 idle jet, 44's take a 55, 48IDF's take a 60. Remember though ... don't bother with jetting, sync, or mixture adjustment until your carbs are clean, have the correct fuel pressure and have the floats set. Here's the float setting diagram.
Image
Pay attention to the notes. This float setting diagram applies to 40's, 44's, and 48IDF's. The measurements are in mm.

Sorry for the long post. Do what's outlined here and enjoy. More tricks and mods are available for these carbs. You'll be a pro in no time.

The factory cutaway picture of the PICT-2 is more of a generalized layout picture, not of the actual locations on the carb. The metering screw is #27 though. In reality, it's on the opposite side of the carb from the volume screw.

I figured it might have something to do with the jets, so I went and bought a new 55 and a 60 idle jet, and 130, 132, 135 main jets. Was hoping some combination of these would work well. Also got a rebuild kit... to rebuild my "brand new" 100% prefect (so CIP1.com says) carb.

Here it is:

Image


Started by striping everything off of it. And immediately noticed something:

Image

Image

Looked like some corrosion or something. The two ports connect into the idle circuit... and idleing was something this carb would not do.

So I pulled the idle jet and the other little jet next to it. Idle crossover jet??? Not sure what it is, but here is where it came out of:

Image

It had two parts, a small screw on the outside and right under that screw was a tiny jet:

Image

The little jet underneath was completely blocked by that same corrosion that was on top:

Image

I took this picture by running my digital camera through a optical lens I found at a goverment auction, I think its 200X or something outrageous. But it lets you take reallllly close up pictures of small stuff. The actual jet is less than a 1/4" long.

So I soaked everything in mineral spirates and cleaned all the passeges with pipe cleaners. Put it all back together with the new size jets:

Idle Jet went from 55 to 60
Main Jet went from 127 to 130

It runs and idles perfect now!

If you buy a Kafer pull the top off and see if you have any corrosion in it. You wouldn't think a new carb would have this problem, but I guess nothing is 100% perfect (<--- CIP!.com !!!!!!!)

Note: unlike most Weber 2 bbl carbs, the float measurement is shown from the bottom of the float to the carb top. Pierce even has a handy dandy float guage available for these models. Don't be afraid to tackle it yourself.
