You can get to it with engine off then open throttle to gain access. May take a few tries to get it set proper but this is only adjusted during the choke operations once the choke has completely opened.
AH! Great dope! Thanks La Hot Rods!!!!You can get to it with engine off then open throttle to gain access. May take a few tries to get it set proper but this is only adjusted during the choke operations once the choke has completely opened.
Thanks Murphdog! Thanks for sharing about Blueprint. yes it seems to be a very strong engine. one of the first things I noticed was the amount of air exiting my cherry bomb exhaust even at idle. "Sahn!"Just read this complete post. Great story, Pop's has to be smiling. Noticed the Blue-Print engine. Toured their facility this past summer. An amazing place. I have known Norris the owner for probably 40 years.
good point. thank you. I think, though, my larger problem is the throttle assembly's failing to reach the idle stop. the fast idle IS being tripped when the temp is warm.Your choke flapper must be completely open when hot,it will set a fast idle not releaseing.
no, the choke was wide open after my 20 minute run ... it's electric, so I suppose it'd open with about 5 minutes of switch ON??Can you move choke flap to open more. Also when engine is hot and driving in cold weather does it tend to close choke somewhat. That mean's the hear source is not sufficient .Also rear butterflys if stuck open a little will create fast idle . Make sure that they are are able to close fully.
yessir, there's a fast idle set screw. LA hot Rod educated me on it.Does that carb have a fast idle can that you can move to come off fast idle screw?? I am not familiar with those avs .
oh, that's not on Polly, but I remember the oil fill tube you mention. Had the breather tube which ran down the back of the engine, too ... no PCV valve. when she still had the original 4 barrel Rochester ... before we installed teh QJet. That was back in 85. We also pulled the power pack heads to rehone 'em but one of 'em couldn't be true'd ... so found some 327 heads w/ the big intake valves. That 283 would motivate Polly pretty well.Some factory had a tab on side of oil Fill tube . Spring to that tab.
thanks Don ... yeah, there are at least 4 of the AN fittings dribbling, one of 'em at the hydroboost. Working two projects today and Polly was the B project today. she'll move to A tomorrow. see what I can do about the dribbling while I continue to bleed. Shouldn't be any "burbles" in the reservoir when cycling the system with the engine off, confirm?Yes on the ''Shuting'' part of it.Check all componants and their fittings to be sure but that looks like a hydro-boost unit leak from it's placement on your floor.
