king bee66 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 On a scale of 1 to 10 how noticable would a carb run without the throttle opener attatched? At idle and otherwise. The carb is a dch306 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Runs perfect, if you plug the hose that's left hanging. Fuel economy goes down slightly. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thanks! The carb i will be running has an electrical throttle opener so not having to connect it will make life much easier indeed Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Dunno about an electrical throttle opener. I was only answering for the DCH306 carb, which has a vacuum opener. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Its a dch306-67 im not sure what model it was made for, i was told a b310. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Like this. The vacuum goes through an electric switch, but the T.O. is vacuum operated. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Right, and that is exactly what my old carb has, but this one just has a bulky switch that hooks directly into the harness Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 That's from an FU engine. The wires are for the throttle microswitch. Its from the 47mpg car. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 But it will work just the same for my a? Ive never come across an fu Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Sure it will work. It is jetted very precisely, so you may want to rejet it. FU = Five-speed USA, which is the round port, quench chamber, lo-po engine. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I see. Rejetting, not really what i was wanting to do. Thanks for your help, zilla Quote Link to comment
