azpctutor Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hi there, first time post. Just replaced the carb on my '79 BRAT with a weber, straight out of the box. Noticed that there were a lot of vacumm hoses left over with no place to go (Calif. emmissions). Starts, runs fine, however, when idleing engine races like its going to take off for the moon! No amount of adjusting idle seems to make a bit of differance. Anyone have any suggestions? Sure would appreciate hearing from you all. Cheers CAR:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 sounds like a vacuum problem to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ru4x4ever Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Check all the vac. ports on the carb it self. And check around the base to make sure gasket is seated right:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azpctutor Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Vacum problem..., couldn't agree with you more, but which hose? As I mentioned, have a few hoses left over with no where to go...checked for leaks, carb gasket is sitting right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ru4x4ever Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Take starting fluid and spray in areas and when rev goes up spray again to locate leak then you should be able to find it then. -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
