Howdy All,
Am havin' a bit of trouble with my '85 GL's Hitachi Carb or somethin'
I recently re-headed my EA82 and cured the broken-head-blowing-white-smoke
problem but now have problem with idle. Car starts and run excellent 'til
warm or sometimes longer then will idle rough then sometimes dies. Will start right fine: sometimes with bad idle, sometimes not. Spent hours searching the archives for clues. I know that the vac lines are in correct spots, dist. is firing and stable during poor idle, carb is definitely running lean (engine will pick up if carb throat is covered). Check fuel pump pressure and replaced filter. All solenoids/switches are functional. Tried un-corking tank thinking that it might be locking up: no problem there. If i disconnect the connectors to the duty sols., engine will run moderately better.
What gets me, is the fact that prior to the re-heading, i didn't have this problem. Also, under load, my GL has great power.
I noted while reading the archives that some recommemded NOT plugging ports on these feedback carbs. Any options there? I figured that by diableing the duty solenoids, I'm basically defeating any closed loop operation.
Unless a gremlin crawled into my float bowl while I had my intake off, I cannot figure what up/
I REALLY want to fix this porblem without Megasquirting/Weberizing/etc
Any help would be much appreciated.
