Rich coming off of WOT

[el33t]

I took a punch and folded the idle hole half shut and the same with the first transition hole. Beat a new plug in there and set the lever back to 65 thou. Seems much better/fixed. 1 turn on the idle now, throttle response is better, let off and it dips but doesnt stall. Ill put it in a wood pile and do some proper re tuning, hopefully that does it. Sometimes beating on things with a hammer really is the answer

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that it would be enough to just reduce the idle hole. But now it's too late...

Thats exactly what I did. With a punch and a hammer, peened the edge in a bit from the inside, then put a new welch plug in. On the first two. This was a 20 dollar canadian carb, lifes too short for epoxy

Works good. It does seem to like a little more fuel in the high and I can actually tune it now. Is there a way to post a video here without making a youtube account?

What I meant was that it would probably be enough to reduce only one hole, the one between the throttle plate and the engine at idle speed. I wouldn't change the other two holes. I even think that the whole thing might work better that way, because normally, when idling, air passes through those two transition holes, mixes with the fuel, and the mixture is discharged through the port that you reduced.

Of course, I can't guarantee that what I've described would work better than what you've done, because there's no equation for that and it's up to experimentation to decide.

Sure!
