Pics! Carb help/ Idles no power

Post by hunterh2 »

Hey, These are pics of the carb and what I have hooked up so far. Like i said it idles but has no power when i give it throttle. It sounds like its sucking air but the rpms aren't raising it seems. idles kinda rough. Ive adjusted the idle screw and done what i can. Im at a dead end here. The jets aren't clogged but im thinking im missing a hose or something needs to be replaced. please help thanks.


Numbered Questions:
1. Is there a hose that is supposed to be connected to this port or is this a breathing port of some type?
2. I understand things like this need to be replaced but could this be the problem even if i had it connected and taped with electrical tape?

does the choke open up when the engine warms up?? is there a vacuum line going to the choke pull off????

take some wd-40,starting fluid and with the engine running spray some around the carb(not in it) if theres a vacuum leak the engine will speed up or slow down

The choke opens when I give it throttle. Also there is a hose the runs from the side of it the carb. I will try the starter fluid later today.

where are you?? somewhere warm?? loosen the 3 screws on the choke oven, turn it clockwise(i think) so the choke is open and see what happens.

I turned it both forward and backward and nothing changed. When i turned it so that it opened the butterfly it stayed open and would die when i gave it throttle(butterfly stayed open if when given throtle). then no change when i tightened it to make it keep the butterfly close.


I was told i shoud try to unplug the spout connector but am having a hard time locating it. here are some pics of what i found
today

At work but i took more pics.
A-on the passenger side of the engine bay, Found this red harness not connected to anything and nothing around it of its side either.
B- Dont know what this is but i found it disconnected and nothing around it to connected to. it has two prongs on the inside.
C- is this the spout connector?
