Can't seem to figure this one out. Had my SII running great for about a week, but now it wont idle at all. As soon as I let off the pedal, it sputters and dies.
I'm relatively sure it's not in the ignition, new pertronix, plug wires, dist cap, sparkplugs. Could there be something goofy in the ignition that it wouldn't fire below a certain RPM???
Checked fuel levels in carb bowls, seems to be fine. Recently rebuilt dual Zeniths WIP36's. Needles and seats replaced, appear clean. Tried some mild adjustments in slow running volume control, and mix. No difference.
I don't have a vacuum gauge but I did the carb cleaner spray test, to no avail. What are the usual suspects for a vacuum leak? I checked throttle bodies, intake manifold, vac line to dist. Anywhere I'm not thinking of?
I'm at a loss here, hopefully someone has a great idea. Thanks in advance.
I've tried some timing adjustments to no avail. Turned dist while giving enough throttle to keep it running, no change in idle.
Fuel tank has been cleaned and redcoated, fuel lines blown out. (Thinking about blowing out lines again)
Fuel pump recently gone over, fuel level in glass bowl appears to be keeping up. Should the bowl be full to the top, or just to the filter screen? Possibly a worn diaphragm? I didn't replace it when I went over the fuel pump because it appeared OK about a year ago.
Help!!!!
