[Chevelle-list] Solution: Hesitation, Dies when put in drive!

[Pelle Andersson]

Thanks!

 

I think I’ve had my share of  the “one step forward
” routine now

 

I took an ordinary 1.5 mm drill and milled a channel in the fuel bowl
(approx 3 mm’s long)

until it matched the hole in the metering block!

Piece of cake when I finally realized what was wrong.

 

Is there other fuel bowls that will fit better?

As you now know the carbs are different.  The bowls for a 4165 are larger
and do not fit as well.  You managed a good fix with the basic differences,
Congratulations.

Hi!

 

As some of you might remember I’ve always (more or less) had a problem with
hesitation
and that it lately began to die when put in drive.

 

>From the beginning the hesitation problem was due to a gasket that partly
blocked the
hole between the acc pump & metering block (discovered that when I
examined the old gasket a few days ago).
And it’s been like this since I bought the car a few years ago!

 

Then I discovered that threads in the old fuel bowl was trashed and I
replaced
my old 4165 fuel bowl with a new 4150 fuel bowl. A few days ago I realized
that
the same hole in the fuel bowl now was misaligned with the hole in the
metering block

which made the flow to the squirter nozzles even poorer than from the
beginning.

Manufacturing failure or model differences? I don’t know? I was told the
fuel bowl was

supposed to be “bolt on” even though the carb was a 4165 & the fuel bowls
was for a 4150.

 

Anyway!

Now I’ve modified the 4150 fuel bowl acc pump hole to align with the
metering block
and I’ve changed all gaskets, jets & Idling screws.

The response now when I floor it is awesome, and the primary squirter
squirts like a
“supersoaker” :-) And the problem whith the car stalling when I put her in
drive is gone!

At last! 

 

But as usual “Mr Murphy” showed up and gave me a flat tire when I did the
test run around the block :-(

 

Best Regards
Pelle
