Q jet power piston spring
Need a little help with the best spring . I have s spring set with 5 spring different colors and length.
80 g body w / 305 . My problem is the motor wont idle. It acts like it go's rich and dies. I have vary low vacuum so I'm thinking the power valve is opening at idle and dumping fuel. My question is should, I use a tall spring or a short spring or just test till one that works thanks, John Last edited by john billups; 12-21-2024 at 05:21 PM. |

Re: Q jet power piston spring
Could possibly be a vacuum leak ?? Has the intake been removed lately ?

Re: Q jet power piston spring
Spring shouldn’t affect idle. Power piston is tied to main circuit not idle circuit if pulling fuel from main circuit at idle throttle blades are to far open.

Checked for vac leak w/ smoke machine.
As for the pistons. I thinking maybe a little pull over . Well I'll put it back together as it's a backup and work on it next spring. thanks all who chimed in. John B645 |
