hif 38 carb
Posted: Mon Jul 05, 2010 9:07 pm
well, im back with more carb problems.
having got sick of the saga of the hif44 carb, i reverted back to the standard 1 1/4 su. this wasn't running right and it annoyed me as well, so i found a nice hof38 carb from a mini 1000.
i though it simple to whip off the standard carb, bolt on the hif38, connect up the pipes and whey hey.
nothing, a flat battery and no igniton.
checked the pipes where connected to the right holes, which was a yes
fuel=yes
linkages right = yes
but still no firing.
owing to me actually needing the car at 0540 tomorrow, i removed that carb and reinstated the original and instantly igniton and a working car.
so was went wrong?
i checked the jets and they where clear, i checked the needle and that was straight
i put the mixture screw right in, so it as level with the top, then wound it down 2 turns
having done all of this and tried the mixture at all sorts of different levels, still nothing.
so directions would be appreciated
