I got tired of adjusting my stock 3.3 carb. So, I bought an OS 11k carb. It is new and came with the needle settings screwed all the way in. On all three needles. I can make it run. But, I can’t keep it running long enough to tune it. It will not idle at.
To say I’m irritated is an understatement. Why send it like that? There is zero information on the stock settings for this carb that I can find either. Zero. I know the stock settings aren’t meant for the 3.3. But, it’d been nice if the valves weren’t screwed in all the way. I’ve fooled with this so much on the blocks I don’t know which way to even start looking.
I prime it and have to crack the throttle to get it to fire. I can keep it running until I stop giving it fuel. Then it dies. Fires right back up. But, the same thing. I can’t get enough feedback to even know where to begin to set the needles.
Any and all help is appreciated.
