so, as ive posted elsewhere here, i have rebuilt the top end on an a20a1 that has an 07D carb. i dont know how, if at all, the 7d carb differs from the 7f carb, or any of the other carbs for that matter.
i went to PnP because i remember seeing a nice shiny reman'd carb assembly. had been sitting there for months. it, of course, was gone.
here's what ive done so far.
replaced choke opener diaphragm
tested fast idle unloader OK
tested primary slow mixture cut-off solenoid OK
tested/replaced frequency solenoid valve c (bad?? have not tested new one per manual, but it doesnt click...)
tested frequency solenoid valve b (bad? not sure im testing correctly...)
messed with the distributor timing all over the place.
i can only get idle (fan not yet coming on) down to 1500rpm-ish with the idle adjustment screw. sometimes it stalls. i have been testing from the engine compartment so i can pull on the throttle cable to keep it going, often, and i dont have a tachometer in the engine compartment so i can only see the rpm when it's stable enough to go look.
i have questions about whether i should have adjusted the timing first, but my old-ass inductive timing light just shows me a bolt head when i put the clamp on the #1 spark plug, dunno what im doing wrong.
do i need to get the timing right first, before messing with the carb? (suggestions for that are welcome)
