    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    Hi all. Haven't been driving much, maybe 300 miles. All good. I want to fix a double throttle cable setup. The set up I have now has to much off an "on- off" effect when I'm driving really slow, or engine braking. I mounted a temporary spring that works against the carbs throttle spring around...

    Joe, sometimes I can't see the forest for all the trees. :doh: Your link is right there, on every post you have. I'm checking it out now.

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    Thanks! The AFR was around $170. It was 2 years ago I bought it for work, but I never put it in a box. This carb project finally pushed me to buy a box from Fry's, and weld the bong on a piece of tubing. I think I got it cheaper from someone at Ebay, can't remember. I saw that Innovation wants...

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    Yeah. I will plug the power valve as soon as I been riding around for a while, it runs good enough for just enjoying it for now. For me it's a beast to maneuver, but I know when I get used to it, I probably want more power. Any videos of how yours is running? Being more and more curios about...

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    About what you said ekvh. It would be interesting to dial in the power valve, but I think like Joe, and removing/ plug it is better. I read on a Jeep forum that off-roader don't like the power valve it can kick in and create a slip, when they don't want it. Or some reason like that. I found a...

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    Ok. Uploaded some videos. The result from air/fuel ratio gauge is a bit confusing, need more testing with that. But! It told me that my engine was not lean as I thought, it was (is) running rich. This is what the AFR gauge showed before I realized it was running rich, and I started fiddling...

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    Thanks. I wouldn't have done it without you guy's. I come in to this in a perfect timing, when the worst problems were already sorted out, so I could use the experience from this site, mix it with my own experience from a couple of Volvo 4 cylinder conversions I did with Weber 32/36. (Ok...

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    So here's an update. Just wanted to say to Joe that, I can't compete with you, when it comes go deep into this carb. Bought a 55 idle to my 32/32, to see what that did. It seems to be ok, not 100% sure. The mix screw is around 2 turns out now instead of 4. That should be better according to...

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    Good Info! Thanks! In the upcoming weeks there is going to be a lot of experimenting, with float bowl went, idle jets, and probably going to try the butterfly hole to.

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    No chance to ride it yet. I was checking my valve lash since it was so quite, and just as I was expecting it was set to tight. But I broke one of the 4 bolts that holds the left cam cover, because it was over tighten. So now I have to fight with that. When it comes to the 32-36, you guys...

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    I will try to use the carter/Weber 32/32 instead. I have some experience with the 32/36 in cars, and I don't like the way the 32/36 kicks in the second barrel. It demands a rpm over 3000-3500, to kick in good. And me being an inexperienced rider, I want a smoth kick in of the second barrel...

    Langdons 32/32 leaking float valve.

    Ok, the project stalled a bit because of cold weather, and the slight problem with idle I have. The problem is that I have the mix screw out 4 turns, and the speed screw almost bottomed out. I cant screw in the mix screw more, it dies. I heated the plenum with 2! heat guns, it was very hot...

    So how do you apply for a sticker? Just say: "I want one"?

    Weber/ Holley/Carter 32DFT & 32/34 DFT Carb Specs, Jetting, and Pictures for Tech Reference

    I have a question. When I worked with car carbs, there was most of the time an air bleed idle jet, normally a brass insert with a calibrated hole. You couldn't change this, it was pressed in. I have seen on some sheets about the DFT, that it should have this to, in the size of 1,05 or something...

    Tapping into engine coolant for heat

    Thanks for the info. Here is hot, and sometimes very humid, and 100F summers, so I don't know if I need heat. But a couple of test runs in March, (when it can be cold) would probably tell me if I need it or not. So heat didn't affect idle that much? That's the area where I seem to have a slight...

    Tapping into engine coolant for heat

    That looks really nice. Would be really intresting if you cold compare before and after heated plenum. What was the problem without, and how well it is running now. I was thinking of welding a "floor" on to the plenum, and that would probably look very close to what you done. I was thinking of...
