I'll pop the lid off in the morning and see what there is to see.  I saw a diagram that shows the adjusting out the idle screws richens the fuel mixture; they let more fuel in.]]> Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:14:17 +0000 http://www.moparfins.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4363&PID=60496#60496 Tech- - Engine : No start.... http://www.moparfins.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4363&PID=60494#60494 Author: dana44

Yeah, the crown is the lip on the edge of the carb top.  I believe the pictures show the measurement in the directions measuring from the carb outer edge to the seam of the float. If you pull the top of the carb off and there is gas right at the edge, or only about a1/16th of an inch below the lip, it is out of adjustment, it should be about .120 (1/8th inch) below the edge with the float in the fuel.]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:53:00 +0000 http://www.moparfins.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4363&PID=60494#60494 Tech- - Engine : No start.... http://www.moparfins.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4363&PID=60493#60493 Author: carrman

Also, to get the car to start warm, the mixture screws have to be out at least 3 turns.  2.5 it struggles to start, 2 turns it won't.]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:51:39 +0000 http://www.moparfins.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4363&PID=60493#60493 Tech- - Engine : No start.... http://www.moparfins.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4363&PID=60492#60492 Author: carrman

Ok kids, where exactly in the float do I measure?  Instructions said to set them at 5/16" at the outer edge of the crown.  Is this the end farthest from the pivot?]]> Sat, 04 Feb 2012 21:42:42 +0000 http://www.moparfins.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4363&PID=60492#60492 Site Questions and Announcements : What's with this dude? http://www.moparfins.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4718&PID=60491#60491 Author: dana44

Yeah, but vaporlock from the gas tank usually kills the engine and makes it sputter at the beginning, not just with full throttle and stops at half throttle. Did you get the float level checked to make sure it isn't too high, or too low?
 
The distributor, does it have a hex end on the vacuum advance or is is cone shaped?

Loosen the gas cap.  I've seen that happen with the wrong cap
 
Sorry for the fire drill on the carb.  It's hard from 4500 miles away
