OK guys, back to business here. I have a couple of carb questions. While I am overjoyed with all the systems that really matter, power, oil pressure,starting,idle, no leaks etc I have been chasing a stumble or surging just above idle. I have done a lot of searches and have been working up the 1 1/16" model EC carb from page 20 on this thread. Seems it's a model 2110 by the generic instruction sheet in my carb kit. It had #55 jets, but for my test I have 50s in it just like the current 8ba carb now installed and for now am keeping it's large throttle plate section, even though the step is there, and I get that. Sometimes turbulence is good, right?
I did place that carb on for an early test, but it ran really rich. Today I found that it's PV was a total leaker and it had the 55 jets. I now have a new PV that holds the tongue suction test installed. I also adjusted the float which was way high. Instruction sheet said should be 1 15/32" for the model 2110. So... Should I use the base from the 8ba carb since it matches the manifold and has no spark valve, or use the base that's on it and perhaps plug the spark valve? I prefer keeping both carbs intact, but will swap bases if important. Will test it out after work and report back. I DID order another 8ba carb with my correct air horn and no spark valve on ebay this morning for the price of a local cheeseburger so I would have 2 equal carbs to mess with in the future..
