Re: Backfire through carb

its all set to spec(i hope) and the pump arm and pump have been fixed and replaced. I am doing some stuff to the trailer before test running it. <br /><br />I did notice before when you adjust the idle stop, the manual said " turn it all the way in till it barel touches the throttle plate arm" well, before I couldn't do that otherwise the idle was too low. Now I can. Hopefully that is the problem. I did some mechanical engineering type thinking and I thought, wouldn't it work better if the accelerator pump was starting compress with some load on it even at idle? Made sense to me. Now its set that way according Seloc. We will see if thats the case. I am sure my timing is so far off that its not even funny. <br /><br />Need to re-adjust the timing as well
