dragonwingsubaru Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 the way i had my idle set it was idleing about 750 rpm's after i finally decided to get around to replaceing the fuel filter it dropped all the way down to 450 to 500 rpm's not that im complaining but is this normal? i noticed on the hood info sticker it said the idle was supposed to be 700 rpm's now if i can get rid of this damn miss i got it will be running real smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HattoriHanzo Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Wow, that's kinda wierd, don't know about that, but I did have a pesky miss I tracked down to "carbon tracks" in the distributor cap, and then faulty plug wires, which appeared fine until I opened the hood when it was dark, and saw the lightning show.

dragonwingsubaru Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 yeah i didnt know what to think either i would have firgured better fuel flow would make the idle higher not lower,, but i got 1 of those carbs with no air, fuel setting screw, so maybe it electronically reset the fuel flow or something and brought it down. i had changed the whole fireing system, cap, rotor, plugs and wires, i have a feeling that my miss is because the rear plug hole on the dr side was crossthreaded and i was only able to get the plug in about 90% of the way. need to dig around for my tap and die set and rethread the hole im thinking it will probably get rid of that miss.

baccaruda Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 you probably tweaked a vacuum line when changing the filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ i ]nsane Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 could he have installed the fuel filter backwards? they usually have "FLOW" with a direction on em, probably there for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
