zeitgeist57 Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Thanks to Brian and Tinman for their tranny help...it seems that 7 years will just manke a tranny stick in gear a little bit Next up...the engine starts RIGHT up with no pumping, and running on a half tank of 7 year old gas, but it idles WAY to high. It doesn't have a tach but my guess is it's running at about 3000-3500rpms. At this point, it's also blowing a lot of blue smoke, but that may be from the ATM fluid I dumped down the sparkplug holes a few weeks ago to get the engine rotating ...that I'm still not sure about. I've backed the idle adjustment screw out all the way, and the throttle linkage won't back off anymore. However, the 4bbl Rochester carb still won't stop revving. Can someone help me here? Is there an internal control screw or other metering device I'm missing here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Vacume leak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted July 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 I've got vacuum lines spread out like spaghetti. It's another carb from a different vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Do you golf? If so golf tees make great temporary vacume plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted July 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Unfortunately, one of the hard brake lines broke yesterday, so I couldn't get it on the road even if I wanted to. Plus, this high rev is a little scary. I'll PM ya, Dave! smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
