Ported vacuum not acting ported.
« on: March 30, 2013, 02:19:49 PM »
Having trouble with my ported vacuum. The port is always producing vacuum for some reason. This causes obvious problems for my vacuum advance. How do I fix this/why is it doing this?

Also, when I shut off the engine hazy fumes float up out of the carb. Is this normal?

do you know what your idle rpms are ? it sounds like your idling to fast and your throttle plates are open to far causing the problem.

What is the carburetor number?

What is it being used on?

What have you done to the carburetor?

Carb# 17058253

9.1:1 C.R. Pontiac 350 XE262Cam

Idle @ 900RPM, though at 500rpm the port was still open.

I rebuilt the carb with a HP kit and recipe #1.

Most likely needs more idle fuel and idle bypass air.  Recipe #1 is not enough for that engine/cam combination....IMHO
