i jsut had a read through your work for first time, unbelievable!!! your workmanship is 2nd too none, its awesome to see someone just giving it a go, and not stopping till you have a solution, congrats man :ninja:

i hear what your saying about the possible need for a timer circuit, but as others have said, unless you somehow manage to drain the surge tank, and then emediatly turn off your engine, it shouldnt be an issue? other option is to have the lift pump run off the ignitino, and the main fuel pump run off the ECU output thing, cause i know that when i start my car i have it in ign for a few secs and then start it, just a thought? of course have some way of making sure that the fuel pump turns off if you crash etc

hmm well i got it goin today, and goin pretty well, turns out the idle mixture screw was actually missing alltogether....which would explain it

alrighty...now to make a complete idiot out of myself which screw is which :wink: i can only see 2 screwes on the carby i tried screwing (haha get it?) around with the pink screw in that pic, i screwed it in, it appeared to help the situation...but i really didnt know what i was doin

gday guys, ive been on here a while thought i would sign up, cuase from what i read you guys know your stuff!! basically ive got a ke70, 4kc engine, with a 3kc carby on it, and it will not idle and splutters at low revs the reason i put the 3kc carby on there is that i was told it was the same as a 4kc one except it had no emissions stuff. i hooked up all the vac lines exact same as they were on the 3kc that i got the carby from (all 3 of them....) basically the engine runs fine if you got your foot on the accel (ie high revs), but as soon as you take it off it just dies, like you have just turned it off with the key... i have not been able to take it for a drive, so i don't know how it performs under load... ive mucked around with the idle screw and didnt get much progress... I'm not exactly sure how to explain it, i hope ive given enough information i have done new coil, adjusted points and proved ignition is all working, cleaned out carby with that spray in carby cleaner thankyou in advance!
