More than likely, either the needle seat(s) is/are not tight enough in the top and the float bowls are over-filling or a float is defective and taking in gas(only if it feels heavier than it should and you probably already know it is not)or you are missing one or both of the seat gaskets. Float level too high is the last possibility, David.




Over the weekend I openned the TQ up and noticed brass shavings in the bowl again. So I swapped the needle seats with the old ones and reset the float height.

Tonight I put the TQ back on and it's not running rich anymore, but I still have a problem, I still can't get it to idle below 850 rpm without it dying and after I peg the throttle it settles back down to around 1000 rpm even if I push the throttle closed. I also noticed the choke plate isn't openning fully.




sounds like a vaccuum leak
