carbs and long duration cams...

By James - 03/02/2002 1:32:18 PM; IP 152.163.195.184

I have had problems with vaccum secondary carbs with long duration cams. The big cams make such low vaccum that it dribles fuel from the secondaries making for poor idle and adjustability problems. It will also make the plugs fuel foul after a few hundred miles. One guy here in town knows just how to fix it but wants $250 to fix it. The fix includes some of his wizardry on the carb and recurving the distributor. I can have the distributor recurvered myself but what could he be doing to the carb? Any thoughts are welcome.
