other then emissions is the CC needed, i thought i read somewhere that with no CC installed you could have issues if you drove up down different elevations, is their a performance hit for having not having it or is this purely emissions?

How would I know if it is pulling vacuum at full throttle, I put the paper clip on and it hasn't moved

Yes, the linkage is working correctly, second barrel manually opens, the fuel level is below the peak of the W in the sight glassif that makes sense, should it be higher, kind of below the level that is in the fsm

i noticed that the fuel in the sight glass may be a little low and not level with the screws, which adjustment on the float level to increase the fuel in the fsm is it A the 6mm(i measured with feeler gauge and it was at 6mm or B the float lip, if it is A does increasing the float lip to more...

i set timing back to 7 degrees and took it out for a spin, at idle it wanted to shutoff, had to pull choke out some to drive back at which point the engine felt full of power, i know i need to re do lean drop method, but i am thinking i have a vacuum leak related to carb rebuild, will have to do...

Sorry I meant vacuum not compression... How much vacuum do your engines have at 7 degrees?

re installed dizzy again using TDC not BB, wouldn't start, assuming I was on an exhaust stroke and not compression stroke, instead of removing dizzy and setting to TDC I moved that spark plug wires 360 around the dizzy, it started on first try, no misfires, but does not seem to be accelerating...

I tore the head off the bolt that clamps down the dizzy after setting the timing, pulled out the dizzy and was able to drill out bolt successfully. After putting the dizzy back in and re timing, it wasn't accelerating well. So I took the dizzy out again and decided to try to setup from scratch...

So I couldn't completely rebuild the carb, I couldn't remove the screw that is on the bottom that holds The fuel bowl to the lower portion together. I cleaned with carb cleaner and blew compressed air through all the ports, I changed all the gaskets, etc that the kit came with. It's running...

i decided to hit the carb with carb cleaner and it started running a lot better, took it for a drive put gas in it, hit the highway, felt like it had more power, but now it is not idling, anything I can check before pulling carb out and rebuilding?

Really, I found that image on the desmog how to, car runs better in the way it's setup in the image, way more power...

Is this the correct position of the valve, green on the left black on the right, just noticed that mine is in the opposite direction

PO removed charcoal filter, trying to figure out how to put one back in, having a hard time comparing photos with my engine bay, hoses seem to be completely gone. I want to try the vc120 charcoal filter, can someone help with hose's/ routing, tees, check valves that I would need, I would also...

I recently picked up an 87 fj60, waiting for parts to get in to build a smoker and verify I don't have any vaccum leaks, but thinking of ordering the Weber kit off of man a fre, why are they advertising better mpg and hp, then order a rebuild kit for the current aisan, supposedly PO had it...

i got the second diaphragm and installed, sucked on the port and held my finger over it and it held vacuum ( I lost the c clip in the process, anyone know the size, I ordered 14 size kit off amazon with the following sizes 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm...
