Losing my mind I think. New mechanical pump dead. Old pump installed and now dead. I’m keeping the arm beneath the eccentric. And they pump well for a bit then quick. Could the eccentric have any issue or thoughts? Half tempted to put an electric pump and regulator on it and be done with it.

I’ll give that a shot potentially CP. I tried to crank it this morning and drive it. Did great. A couple hours later same. A few hours later while on uneven ground no luck. I think I still have a float issue potentially, right at 7/16 like the manual says but I will check my fuel pressure. If...

We got a split thread here. 😄 I got the eddy adjusted today. She is still a bit fat but she is running and idling. Took her down the road. She loads up a bit, need a bit more adjustment. Time to get a calibration kit. The idle isn’t affect by the idle mixture screws either, I think that’s...

I’ll make sure a 7/16 bit goes under while touching it but not causing deflection. Once I get off work.

Ok. So I took my ignition box off. Made sure the box was grounded well. Checked all plug/wire connections. Checked cap was connected in the right order 18436572. Took the eddy 1806 off. And bought a brand new eddy 1906 650cfm carb. Set the idle mixture screws to 1 1/2 turns out. Didn’t touch...

Chryco that’s some good information. Too often we see, use Lunati or Hughes or insert brand because that’s what I use on everything. No technical basis. You are a wealth of knowledge and willing to help, I am sure once I pick a direction to go on a motor I will be hollering at ya to get an idea...

choke is working correctly. I will check fuel pressure tomorrow. I believe it’s 5 lbs or so

Additional info and some thoughts would be great. Car doesn’t idle, it will try and start and fall on its face. But if you hold the pedal down it will light off, run kinda rough and clear out. I’m thinking it’s too rich. Thinking I need to check jet size/metering rod size check float level...

Update for the evening. Still waiting in ignition module to come in but had some time to do some checking. The jb weld on the pickup could bolt is great. .008 on the pickup coil to reluctor verified. And tried it again.....No dice. Decided to check new Carter M6866 pump for flow...

That’s fair. It’s an auto car, y’all gear I will have to look, 904 tranny with plans of a street car. Lots to decide still.

Got it jb welded to try it tomorrow. What cam are you recommending? I have a set of worked big valve j heads I was going to put on at the same time with an air gap intake.

So last night got home late and have a new baby so not much time to mess with anything. Pulled cap again to check the reluctor and pickup gap. Notice the screw for adjusting the pickup hold down is free spinning and won’t tighten down or loose. And the pickup moves and can make contact with the...

I’ll report back tonight.

That’s was the plan Kim actually. I appreciate ya caring about this country boy! Ha.

I will try some starter fluid tonight and see if that will fire it off. With a new fuel system I would hope it’s not that. New carter stock pump as well.
