Changed jets and now sending raw fuel through the tail?

I thought of that to and they were actually lower than what they should be. They're both at the bottom of the site glass when the motor is shut off.

I think I have them open as much as I do the primaries. I thought the book said to make adjustments between them equally but I could be wrong. I'll make sure they're shut and try that tonight.

Thanks!

I have a curved distributor and I'm set a 35 total at 3K rpm. I think my initial was at 15. I'm not running any vacuum advance.

Does that make sense?

Help! My car is worse! It's still backfiring out the tail pipes and really missing bad. I try to set the initial timing at 18deg. but it won't even run at that. It's still running extremely rich. When I turn the distributor to around 25 deg advanced at idle it runs better for a second and then starts to stumble. I can't get it to idle at all! If I pull it up to 1500rpm is runs good for a second and then starts to miss and stumble. I checked the following:
-Put the timing light on each wire and check to ensure each were firing and they are
-Check the cap and rotor
-tried a different coil
-Tried a different ECU
-Pulled carb and ensured everything was set properly for base line. (Transfer slots etc...)
-Check the rockers arms and all seem tight on driver side so I assumed passenger side is good
-Plugs are carboned up pretty bad but not wet. the #8 was a bit wet but I wiped it off and it was just carboned up after that.

I have a show tomorrow and really want to get it running.

Any help is appreaciated!

What kind of plugs? If they are Champions and they are black....they are junk!I would screw a set of NEW plugs in it and start over.

I do know the nozzles aren't flowing during idle. I've never heard of initial timing over 20deg though. This thing won't run decent till it's over 30 and you'd think it would spark nock at that. I have a curved and welded distributor from FBO and set to 18 initial and 35 at 3Krpm. I think it's the carb because before I tried to lean it out it ran good. Could it be I'm not letting it get warm enough to set the timing? She's cold blooded for sure. An earlier post said to set the floats below the sight glass but it ran fine with them at half. It's a 650 Demon double pumper w/ mechanical secondaries. It came from the factory with 72 front jets, 6.5 powervalve, and transfers slots set to .020. To try to lead it out at idle I took a vacuum reading in drive at idle and had 8.5hg. So.. I pulled the 6.5 powervalve out and placed a 3.5 in it, cranked the idle mixture screws in 1/4 turn from 1-1/2 out and changed the front jets to 67's. it seemed to run to lean so I then pulled the 67's out and put 69's in and a 4.5 power valve. I'm not sure what to do now. You can't even make it idle to set the initial timing. Would a vacuum leak cause this?

Someone told me that I may have jumped a tooth on the chain but it's a dual roller and I doubt it.

I have a high volume pump but I never had this problem before I started to mess with the carb. I have lot of good things to check now and appreciate all the help!

I'll let ya'll know how she turns out tomorrow!

Thanks a million fella's

electric or mech??? either way you need to check for pressure?

Also you might want to drain the oil soon with all that gas dumbing in there it could get in the crank case.

Good luck
