Bro Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Hitachi carb, when opening the throttle from under the hood, when should the second jet start working ? I rev it up, but only squirting out the main jet. Excuse my lack of knowledge....newbie here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauregaardhooligan Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 The accelerator pump only squirts on the primary circuit. P.S. Welcome to the board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85Sub4WD Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Thanks Ed , so the other jet fires when ? Only under load - so you the car would have to be moving - vacuum actually opens the second barrel (it increases with load). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they vary with adjustment of the mechanism - there are several different versions of carbs for the EA82 - I think each model year is slightly different and then beyond that there is a difference in 2WD vs. 4WD and auto vs manual tranny plus you are int'l, so it probably has a different carb alltogether- my secondary never opened at idle - if you look at the back of the carb on the side opposite the throttle cable, you can see the vacuum actuator for the secondary throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
