I just finished my timing chain it idles good but chokes @ 2k rpms
and you have to be really easy on the gas to get it there all vac line are in place could I be a tooth off on the dizzy and if so which way do I go with it?

ps still looking for a place to rent

I would suggest getting a timing light, they are cheap and will help you get your timing spot on. That will also help you find which way to go if the distributor is a tooth off. I have one and can give you a hand if you'd like?

check your Catalytic Converter you should be able to see at least a quarter sized light through the end when held up to the sun. if not smash all of the liner out or get a new one ;) I had similar problems with my 86P/U. Worth a shot, Good Luck ;)
 
that was a done long time ago :).....
its driving better maybe it was just old gas....i'll try some sea foam

10 year old fuel would definitely make it feel like it can't get out of its own way, let alone even run. I have had fuel that was less than 5 years old that wont burn with a lighter put to it.
 
More history would help, did it run poorly before the work, something that started happening suddenly or over a long time, has it sat, how long, etc.

The 22R carb has a vacuum accelerator pump on the secondary. The diaphragm is known to crack/leak, if so, the vacuum line will suck gas, causing it to run rich. The test is to remove the vacuum line and see if it has gas in it.
 
He said it sat for over or about 10 years, was running before it sat. I don't remember if he told me it was running before the timing chain replacement or not.
I was wondering if the carb could be clogged from old gummed up fuel or like you say tools, had any dried up rubber parts?
 
thanks guys for the input.. it sat for about 6-8 yrs ran ok, it needs some tlc
which vacuum line is the accelerator pump on the secondary?

the carb was rebuilt in 96 but that does'not keep it from being gumed up from old gas in 04-10 :)
sorry for the lack of info
will look for cracked vacuum lines

running better but has hard starts thanks for all the help!!
 
no, I asked where it is but nobody said anything, dont know what the secondary looks like

choke is working fine

thanks

Woo-hoo have a 22R carb pic, from when Diego did his, It is a '85.

The secondary accelerator pump is indicated by the yellow arrow in the first pic.

How it works: The carb is a two barrel, progressive design, meaning: When driven with little throttle it runs on the first (primary) barrel, like a one barrel carb (the green arrow, 2nd pic). When more throttle is applied the second (secondary) barrel opens (red arrow), operating as a two barrel carb.

When the throttle is quickly opened fully, the motor can bog, go lean briefly during the transition, The secondary accelerator pump gives a quick shot of fuel to eliminate this. How it works; when at low throttle setting/motor load, vacuum is high, this pulls the diaphragm in the secondary accelerator pump back against a spring, when the throttle is opened, vacuum is reduced, allowing the spring to push the diaphragm forward, giving the motor a quick, extra shot of fuel. The diaphragm should seal, if the vacuum line is removed and has gas in it, it will suck fuel all of the time making, the motor run rich, common problem on these carbs.

If the diaphragm is good and you suspect the carb is gunked from setting, try the "dollar two ninety eight overhaul". Get a can of spray carb cleaner, useing the extension tube, put a pretty good amount into the float bowl, through the brass vent tube (blue arrow). Run the motor at differing speeds and see if it clears up. Repeat is needed.:hillbilly:

That is hilarious, I used to buy old Honda 110 3 wheelers for next to nothing that "hadn't run in years" and stopped running before sitting "for years", and that was my budget fix to clean the carb and make them run so I could have a larger smile to cost ratio.:D:D:D Tangent over.

Now you know the technical name for that operation!:hillbilly:
