    Honestly, you need to look into a 32/36 weber if you want to have it running right. The stock mikuni carbs are crap.....

    I agree tintedram, but i just don't have the fund for one. Well, I end up going to a local pickNpull and got me a carb for $40. I found out my depression chamber was clogged and i was running on barrel. Now it's running on 2 and riding smooth on the freeway. (SAS1)9 turns out(SAS2)6 turns out Fast I forgot the (SAS2) Idle 2 throttle opener .25

    The truck now idles at 1,000, but the idle shakes when at a stop , say between 1000-700 and then some times lower. The pickNpull carburetor ended up having a leak through the gasket by the vent bowl. It didn't hold idle so i swap back my old carb with the pickNpull depression chamber. That's when i found out my depression chamber was clogged. It's running good now , just the idle wont stay still@1000rpm.

    I'm also planning to replace the pickNpull carb gasket, I just got to figure out how many bolts is holding the top piece off.

    I hope this help some one that went through the same dilema i did with my solex mikuni carbuertor . Happy driving to all !!
