Steve M Forums Junkie Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2003	Re: 18RGU help needed urgently Wed, 02 July 2003 07:01 Ok, a few things have been worked out, not all of it good. We've got it through regency (now we can register it legally) even though it didn't work right. We've decided to swap the carbies for the originals we have. (back before the days of the externally adjustable float position) It has 200 main air bleeds 140 main jets 60 slow jets (these worked fine when we switched them into the other carbies) 65 accelleration ones (seems about standard) and it is adjusted to spec duration. the large venturi is a 32 (the other carbies had a 31) (swithcing them made no difference) small venturi is a 10. Main reason we swapped was so that when we get it dyno tuned it will take less time. The less fucking around we do the better. Someone must have played funny buggers with the jets in the newer ones as the 140's had bigger holes than the 200's and looked tampered with. And yes, she went through over a third of a tank in approx 40km of very light driving. Diagnosis - WAY TOO RICH! We found a bugger of a problem that has nothing to do with the carbies. We are getting coolant in the oil but no oil in the coolant. - indicated leak from coolant point near an oil drain hole. The head will be shaved and (another) new head gasket will probably be bought. I am really glad we found that problem as we were planning to drive to canberra on the weekend. Thanks for all the input but CelicaRA45, couldn't you have told me to use some jets that we actually have, that would have been so much better. Oh well, I guess we are flying to Canberra and will worry about the other stuff at a later date. the points gap has been checked and redone too many times, and yes they are new. I think it basically comes down to jets being too big and burning coolant. [Report message to a moderator]
