 Post subject: not good
PostPosted: Fri May 14, 2004 10:48 pm 
here i go again screwing stuff up well tonight i was the weber off because i never loctite the studs and screws and i dropped the carburetor on the stud when puttin back on :evil:

and i had to yank it off kinda which upset me then i put it back together and started it now here is whats wrong my whole truck is shaking and when i rev it now sputters in between and its running like crap

and here comes the bad part of it i ended up with a washer missing to my carb and i think it fell in the intake and screwed my motor up but it ran all the way to my house i hope its just somthing with my carburetor not somthing i dropped in the intake i didnt see anything in the intake putting it back together but i remember losing a washer somewhere

so if someone could help me determine what the problem is i would be happy cause my truck never shakes when idling it shake bad :(

are you sure you didn't bump a plug wire loose?
shaking isn't usualy a carb problem. unless it's a huge vacume leak but you'de know if you had one that big.

you probably did drop the washer in the intake and it got sucked into chamber 3 squashing the spark plug, it could still be in there or it might of been blown out the exhaust

you might want to look around for a short blosk for that motor ,I saw one about the same price as the master kit and it's a reman, so theres a little more peace of mind and a warranty.

I'll see if i can find that company's page again for ya.

i always see them rebuild ones for about 1000 bucks or more but if 350 dollars with a warranty its sounds to good to be true
