I have one of those ugly CA emissions carburetors. When I took it out i left the altitude compensator hooked up since it took forever to get it set up right last time.

I plugged the 3 vacuum lines on the back of the carb, the ones for egr and whatnot. it still didn't run.

The weber is behaving much better today. I played around with jetting and used my set of 45,50,55,80 jets to determine that the 55 seems like the best primary idle size for me.

I found out where my vacuum leak is.

the shafts for the primary and secondary butterflies are leaky, I thought it was my crudely made adaptor plate, but i belt sanded the surface of it and made it nice and smooth, and made sure it seated good.

So i guess a rebuild is coming up.

another story of why one should buy the whole redline kit and not try to piece it together.

I looked at those links, i suppose I could buy the weber book.

I found some stuff on setting up a DCOE which seems to at least provide some guidance for jetting and general setup.
