510T Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 FTO you ought to get some speed bleeders or solo bleeds. I love mine. They have a miniature spring loaded one way valve and allow you to bleed by yo self. 10x1 size should be available locally. Just don't let the master go dry... And a quality 10mm flare nut wrench :) 2 Quote Link to comment

510T Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I would try calling Smothers on SR Avenue. Or Maybe Pepboys in RP. I think even autozone or oreillys may have them or can get them. Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted December 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Weber 32/36 DGV ... You can see fuel/ air mixture screw and idle screw. Closer... Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 So I've been driving it rich for about a week and it runs okay within reason. Have to keep throttle pegged to keep from dying (no idle set) and a strange whistle noise from the engine bay. Exhaust smells like a two stroke lawn mower. I changed the spark plugs and maybe that messed something up, but to be honest I must not have gotten the linkage assembled correctly to allow for idle. Maybe head gasket? My block is leaking a little from the side of the block out some sort of sensor. Tomorrow the brakes get attention and maybe address some other issues. Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I think the whistle may be noise from a slightly incorrect carb to manifold gasket. With air moving through a slight hole into the manifold after mixed with gas. Why don't I take care of this shit earlier? Quote Link to comment

demo243 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Did it fix the whine? Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted January 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Did it fix the whine? Yessir. Two new gaskets solved the whine. And then Busta Nut tweaked my air mixture/ idle screw while I had it running and now it's a dream idle and more fun/ less embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment

freetheoranges Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 That photo really accentuates the dent going on in the rear quarter and the hole between the door jamb and the fender edge. I know they are there...... will I ever do body work to get it straight? No. Dime is doing great. I need a new vaccuum hose. Took old one off a few days ago and left some plastic tube on there. Did fine for DAYS. Then tonight I park, grab some 22oz. beers and go to start it... Plastic had melted shut.. No vaccuum just straight flooded before I knew what was up. Sat there like an idiot for a while to wait before cranking again and finally after cuttin the melted section off and reusing I got it to fire up like a ball rolling uphill. Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 ^^I thought that was some special silicone hose.... :rofl: I would've just replaced it if I knew it was just plastic......sorry dude.... I know you didn't see'em, but we got plenty 'o hoes around here :lol:............I mean hose.... ......next time just make a list of ALL the shit you want done.........and post it here........ .....and then we'll do it. :cool: Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hah well that was my bad and now there's correct hoes (hose) on there. Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 My L20 is still doing the sputtering after I turn it off (this started on shop day Saturday after a light tuning of the carb). Then when I start it, it actually turns over faster than before, with the exception of extra gas still in there I fear it will flood. Is there a fix? Quote Link to comment
freetheoranges Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 My starter is dead. The ignition light just stays on while it's running. Just now a strong AAA dude pushed my car backwards so I could "pop the clutch" going down hill. It worked with less than 50 feet left on the slope trying to gain speed. And with the high idle I didn't have to baby it too bad trying to make a K turn seconds after getting it to turn over. Now I'm parked in reverse atop my sloped driveway hoping tomorrow morning it will work again. I am suddenly feeling optimistic about living at the very top of a hill for gravity and momentum! Starter Broke my window crank. Tell me if it's kind of 'janky'. Quote Link to comment
