Venturi

#1

Post by white1j0 »

Been working on this Pan for 5 years now, and still can't get it started when it's warm, right now everything is set perfect, I had an intake leak and that was fixed, the only thing left is the Linkert, which is completely rebuilt, including a Rubber Ducky Float, I checked the venturi, and you can see a slight bit of daylight between the body and the venturi, which I concluded it was getting to much air, I just received a new venturi today from Colony, and it dropped right in, and has lots of daylight all the way around, I tried broaching the one I removed on my lathe but I can't seem to get it to expand, any suggestions? Thanks Whitey

A very slight gap probably won't make a big difference. The aftermarket venturis are often undersize, but can be tightened up with shim stock.
