    Primary fuel nozzle

    I think there is something wrong with my Carb. At Idle, the fuel does not spray in the primary. The fuel kinda drops or dribbles in. I am thinking that it should be a spray or mist.
    Does anyone know if this is right or wrong?

    How much trottle did you give the carb? and does your primary barrel still have that tiny needle inside the fuel nozzle?

    I always wondered if removing it would help some.

    "How much throttle did you give the carb? and does your primary barrel still have that tiny needle inside the fuel nozzle?"

    -- I have the idle set at 1050 RPM for now. If I set it any lower it idles too rough. Yes the little needle is still inside the primary venturi. I think it might have something to do with the way the fuel is dribbling into the primary.

    " I thought Techno had gotten one. Yeah right too poor, it's $12"

    -- No I do not have a weber yet. I am going to get one...just have some body work that is more important right now. I have to replace my doors and strip, prime, paint my car. Kinda high price to do.

    So what do I do? How do I fix this? I do have a spare carb and intake manifold that I picked up at the Junkyard for $20.

    Any help guys?

    dude at idle the fuel will dribble... thats the way it is... as long as it sprays when you give it throttle you should be okay.

    Thats why I asked you how much throttle you gave it...
