Ask Bill about carbing a DeLorean and other K-Jet/Carb tangets

[Farrar]

I will try to make such a video. The weather this week should be perfect, and since I have the carb off the intake manifold it would be a good time to do so. However, I have no camera operator and my tripod's capabilities are somewhat limited. Still, I will try.

Recheck timing and vacuum hook ups.

Changing either of these requires starting all over! (Except reconnecting vacuum advance line if required to be removed.)

I think in this case they are saying that you need to double-check and make sure nothing has been accidentally moved while you were fiddling around elsewhere.

I'll see if I can beat Farrar to it and make my own "how to" video tonight. This will depend on when I get home and whether or not my retired neighbor is outside when I get home. I don't feel like screwing with my carburetor and listening to his expert advice.

I didnt watch this entire video but it seems to have good information on how to rebuild a 2100 carburetor. If you watch a few videos like this you will have a better understanding on how the thing works.

Another good video but without sound

Ah, OK!
(But I don't know how one would manage changing the timing by fiddling with the carb...;-)

This is the document I used when I rebuilt my carb. Read it. It has a lot of good information in it. I found it to be more detailed than the youtube videos.

For what its worth, I once had cold idle problems and it was due to me screwing with the choke. These instructions taught me how to properly adjust the choke.

Looks VERY well written!
Now if there were such a thing as Delorean float and jet specs...

I believe I am running size 48 jets and I followed the float instructions in the PDF document I posted. Float instructions are silly anyway. Just set the float to a reasonably level and the shut off valve will do its job.

Simple: you forgot to tighten the nut all the way and bumped the distributor with your elbow!

No that would be fiddleing with the distributor, Bill, I mean Farrar.
