ok ive tryed putting my pics up ,but it wont let ,cos they are 0.98 and i normaly ,take the pics from my camera ,put them on facebook to bring them down to sie ,then save them in another file ,and then put them up on 1200.com

wtf is going wrong ! damn facebook !

Just use microsoft paint to reduce it?

Just about every computer has that program, very basic but does the job.

ok thanks chris ill try that

ok found a video today ,and i was wondering ,why does it sound the way it does ,it sounds realy deep ,it the stacks that do it ? or something else ?

You can hear he is having the same issues with his carbs bogging down when he throttles it, they must be really rich if that's happening at idle. Same story, pump nozzles too large and acc pump set too high.

All sidies sound like that probably the quality of the recording device. Alot of times people leave their tappets all rickety so they tend to overtake the engine sound as well.

oh ok ,and im back on youtube so ill put a video up if i can figure out how to hahah

im just bringing some pics down to size now

ok pics of the carbs after being cleaned and pump rods fitted :D


also ,thinking of doing a video when carps comes with me in the ute next weekend :D that way it will be incar and maybe drive by footage too :D

ok update ,today i pulled the plugs out and found that 1, and 3 were a browny colour ,about perfect :D

then i pulled 2,and 4 out to find they were black ,so i cleaned the plugs and swapped all the leads around ,tryed to start it ,it would try to run but flame ou the exhaust and run like crap until it stalled ,so i then determined it was the leads that are doing it

they are pretty old and they are starting to split


what should i buy ? ,just a set of realy thich topguns ? are they any good ?

is there anything i should know about size and stuff ?

cheers

also nigel helped me figure out that it was a crook lead :D

ha did they give u good shock? short a possible is the go. i got top gun 8.0mm they work.

oh ok ,whats the advantage of having bigger leads ? is it to reduce the amount of spark drop ? so the spark is stronger at the plug ?


not sure what you mean ??? do you mean do the old leads carry a good spark ? cos they are pretty old and ide rather replace than test and replace one :D plus fat leads look phat haha

so this is what i was thinking

ok so the motor runs rich at idle ,and spits out of the carbs and exhaust :(

so so if anyone has any ideas ,ide love to hear them ,cos at the moment it

1)lean pops out #3 cylinder at idle
2)pops out the exhaust ,indicating un burnt fuel in the exhaust
3) 1 and 3 light brown colour plugs /good
4) 2 and 4 sooty black colour plugs /rich

it even pops out the exhaust when the pilots are wound in and it still blows sooty smoke when at idle

with the screws wound out a half turn it then blows out the exhaust abit

ok so i dont mind the pops out the exhaust when slowing down ,its going to do it regardless :D ,but im mainly trying to fix the lean pops and the exhaust popping at idle and low revs

i tryed using a piece of plate to sit over #3 carby throat and it stopped popping ! but i cant drive around with a plate over the carby hahaha

i have tryed putting the filters on to make it draw the mixture in better (having some resistance should make it pull the fuel better instead of just trying to draw air alone)

whats everyone think ?

i need help ,the top end is all sweet just cant drive it everywhere doing 4000+ rpm haha

A new set of leads is always a good start, especially if they are showing there age. You could probally get some for a good price.

Dont know that you would see a huge advantage in running the mega huge leads of a A series ignition system
