I am new to the 2f engine having a 327 in my 74 and know that . You guys have really helped me lately on these forums getting my cruiser up and running good, thanks for all the advice. I have an fsm for the 77 year coming soon too. I need it to run better before the fsm gets here. I put in my new dissy from an 84 and it runs like a champ. Only problem was that after I put it in the idle speed was like 1,600. Like and idiot instead of finding out first what each screw did in back I messed with them, well I did look in my haynes manual and it didn't show much. I backed off all three screws. I have done some searches and found that the one facing the valve cover is the Idle mixture screw. Is there a process (just with the carb. for now, I will do the valves etc. in the future) that I can do to tune the carb with just these three screws for now. I am going to send my carb into Jimc in the future but want to get it running good for now. I had to turn up the idle to get it to stop hesitating from the get go. I read that one thing I can do is to turn the idle mixture screw all the way in to make sure it gets the idle circuit gets gas. I was just going to try this but thought that if I could get a process from you guys first, or just a thread where it has been done I would be golden. My carb is the original for that year, I don't know non asian or asian. I will send a picture.
Thanks guys for your help and sorry for the long write up. I find when you know more then you can help me pinpoint without further delay.
