Hi, I am new to the forum, got here because of a carburetor swap I did on my car (wife´s car but I drive and she´s too lazy to drive so I am her driver anyways :P )
Of all the place, I had two choices, the MG club or the Datsun club, and I choose to come here. Mainly because the Datsun is a Japanese car (as far as Wikipedia tells me). I haven´t seen any of those in my country, but there is Nissan and Mazda, being Nissan like a son of Datsun (if I understood the story of Datsun correctly). And secondly, because you guys seem to know more about the weber adjustment than most folks on the web on other forums, I feel more at ease seeing more info and stuff here than any other place.
I bought my 32/36 from ebay, from the Redline e-store. And I have videos of how I installed it. Using the Toyota Tercel Kit, that (strangely) fits bolt-on to the manifold of my Suki.
(If any video is in spanish, skip to the next one, there are several takes on each one)
The thing is, I suffer from 3 things (make fun ye, I don´t speak or write english too well, I even searched the register question in google to look up the answer, being the answer inside the question... damm).
#1 The first thing is the off-idle stumble, I believed it was a timing issue, fixed a leak on the vacuum advance (I have ported and manifold vacuum, both of them broken), after that apparently that minimized a lot, it didn´t dissapeared but it minimized a lot. On the installation video you can see that if I blip the gas there an stumble, but waiting like 2 secons and blipping again there is no stumble.
#2 The second thing is pinging under 15000rpm, I believe it could be related to the gas quality (usin ron 91, as the manufacturer sticker says), but I could be also the timing, because (6 degrees initial timing btw) if I lock up the vacuum advance (by locking I mean not blocking the ported port, more like putting the adjustment screw on the vacuum canister all the way until it doesn´t move under acceleration), there is no ping or so little it doesn´t notice until you really try to hear it. But the car runs great and pulls hard good (if I gently push the gas to avoid problem #1)
#3 The third problem is when turning to the right, the off idle stumble is quite noticeable. But it doesn´t happen turning left, so far what I readed it maybe related to the level of the float so I believe I can address that.
My settings so far are:
Mixture screw: 1 + 1/2 turns exactly, or maybe 1 + 1/2 + 1/8 turns (being the 1/8 more like a little nugde).
Idle Screw: close to 1 turn, more like 7/8 or a turn, but the throttle plate are quite close, and there is no noticeable ported vacuum, even disconnecting the ported line and hooking it to a vacuum gauge shows little (needle varely moving from zero) vacuum.
My engine is totally stock, just rebuilt about 4 years ago to 0.30 pistons and bore, and the compression test shows 195 to 200 psi on all pistons (dry test - warm engine, not hot, just warm to almost cold). And pulls up to 21inHg of vacuum (something odd becase I haven´t seen anything above 17 to 18inHg on google).
So, no vacuum leaks, excellent vacuum, what am I missing? My finger and sight are tired of searching and no one locally really knows about webers, and I rather fix it myself than taking ti to someone else. Is like an old saying: "Would you lend you wife to someone to play with? Neither I would lend my car to some strange mechanic.
Any ideas gladly appreciated. Also, keywords, since I am quite limited on the words I know to use to search function correctly. My bad :(
