my leak is on the opposite side of where the linkage is on the right.
I'm thinking "NO". That plug looks to be to plug the passageway drilled for the mixture screw. The ported vacuum source you want has to be drilled in a very specific place at a very specific angle. Mark A. can do that.Is there a vac tube avail that I can attached myself to this hole above the mixture for my to be installed vac advance dizzy? Looks like it might be threaded in?

ok. Is that skinny hose your dizzy vac port?I'm thinking "NO". That plug looks to be to plug the passageway drilled for the mixture screw. The ported vacuum source you want has to be drilled in a very specific place at a very specific angle. Mark A. can do that.

Yup.ok. Is that skinny hose your dizzy vac port?
Have you hit the opening where the shaft passes through with some carb cleaner? Does it make a noticeable change?Decent advise. So, I took the air cleaner off and thought I would see if I could get a bit more granular in where the vac leak is coming from and it looks to me, the leak is not in fact the insulator but the back of the throttle linkage shaft is where the leak is and I've read that there are not bearings or sleeves avail to correct this or is there? Thoughts?

What do y'all think - put the gaskets on dry? Or coat them with a little engine oil?No, I'm sorry, I would not advise anyone to order from SOR unless they had exhausted all other possibilities.
Also:
1) I don't use those base gaskets.
B) If I had to put a gasket there I'd make my own out of very good gasket material.
III) Those gaskets come in a carb rebuild kit. I would advise everybody with a carb to keep one or two carb rebuild kits on hand.
I think it would depend on what gasket material you're using. Some people like to soak a paper gasket in water before applying, if it's a fancier gasket I'd just put it on dry.What do y'all think - put the gaskets on dry? Or coat them with a little engine oil?
Yes, the link above to the video shows it but the sound didnt translate that great but, there is a noticeable increase in RPMs aka a leak.Have you hit the opening where the shaft passes through with some carb cleaner? Does it make a noticeable change?
I always suggest that one should advance timing to get best manifold vacuum, then retard just a hair. Maybe more, maybe less depending on gas and altitude and stuff. The advanced timing may increase your idle speed and you'll want to turn out your idle speed screw. More vacuum is better, might even help you find your leak easierI suppose I could advance timing or increase idle speed a tad but I was hoping to get to the bottom of this prob.
I just ordered a smoker from Amazon. Next maybe a bong too if I cant find the leakI always suggest that one should advance timing to get best manifold vacuum, then retard just a hair.

Look up Lean Drop Method for setting idle mix and timing.I always suggest that one should advance timing to get best manifold vacuum, then retard just a hair.

The bong will help him loosen things up…Ya I noticed screw is cranked in all da way![]()
It will also help the needle on the “Give-a-**** Meter” to drop sharplyThe bong will help him loosen things up…
I know that backwards and forwards. the lean drop isnt gonna help me magically produce 19in of vac unfortunatelyLook up Lean Drop Method for setting idle mix and timing.
