89mustang Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I haven't re-jetted the carbs yet. I just want to make sure everything is good before I change anything else. I'll take the stock carb apart tonight and clean it. It's almost like its flooding out now. I'll definitely get some 30 pilots on order though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89mustang Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 Sorry have been busy with work. Cleaned the carbs. I ordered a tors eliminator and carb synch tool and got #30 pilots and 340 mains for it. Hoping to do a leak down in it tonight. Throttle response is still boggy. Carbs were outta synch as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03DMshee Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I wouldnt keep starting it until you have done a leakdown test.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89mustang Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I got everything for the leak down test. The only thing I found leaking was the intake boot on the left hand side where I put the PVC in. I have stock carbs 1" PVC is the only thing that's close enough in size. The boot isn't sealing around that. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne_smith97 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 ↑ use the boot clamps to tighten intake onto pvc I say that because I had the same issue. It boiled down to I was being a vagina about tightening the clamps onto the PVC leak down tester. I was afraid I was gonna bust the pipe or hurt the rubber boot. Long story short. Crank on it.

89mustang Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'll give her hell tomorrow but it was both eyes of the clamps were touching haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I'll give her hell tomorrow but it was both eyes of the clamps were touching haha If that fails. Make sure the boots aren't ripped. If the boots are ok. The get another clamp yours may be stretched. That's a long shot but it is possible.

89mustang Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 It must be stretched because it's cranked as far as it will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 It must be stretched because it's cranked as far as it will go. I would try to find another clamp. The parts stores may have something that will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89mustang Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I went back out to the garage and found a couple hose clamps. That fixed it. The reed blocks are leaking, so my question is would I be ok re using those gaskets and putting a little rtv on them and try it again or order new ones?

uman1030 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I would first just see if they arent tight and you can just tighten then up a little bit. have they been removed recently? In my experience when ive removed the reed cages if they have been on for a great deal of time they tore the gaskets pretty bad and i had to clean up the surface and use new ones.

89mustang Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I just rebuilt the top end. They've been on for about a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89mustang Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm sorry I checked they are tight. I have v-force v4 reeds so I had to modify the reed block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
