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.

Re: Q jet power piston spring
Get a drinking straw, cut it down to about 4? long. Place it in the vent stack
at abslight angle to catch the power piston/primary metering rod hanger arms. Note the length sticking up. Now start the engine. It should pull the power piston down and the straw with it. If it goes down and stays down At ?idle? (yes I understand it won?t idle well on its own but you get the idea) then that?s not your problem. Have you drilled the holes in the primary blades yet? Kp |
