Yeah. If it burns oil on de-celleration, you have worn valve stem seals. That causes lots of blow-by pressure -more pressure than the valve covers/gaskets are designed to handle, so most likely leaking oil from the rocker covers. New/better than OEM gaskets will fix the oil leak, but problem is still there, you need new valve stem seals. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Oct 26, 2015 |

I suppose none of this matters since you are failing load test, not idle test, but wow. I've never used a solex carb, and I am suprised about having idle air and fuel adjustments (rather than a simple bypass/mixture setting), without having an idle air and fuel jets - or do they have idle fuel and air jets like webers? If your carb does, is it also like weber carbs and have a main emulsion tube? The emulsion/mixing tube holds the main jetting assembly (holed brass tube that the air jet presses into on top, fuel jet presses in on the bottom) It controls how air and fuel mixes under load. Is there anything like that in the solex that could be replaced to help with the failing emissions under load? E: Regardless, if I was in your position, I'd try fitting larger air jets rather than the fitting smaller than stock fuel jets. Besides, easier to file spare air jets larger with an oxy tip cleaning file or something, rather than buy smaller fuel jets. Then of course putting regular air jets back in after passing the test.

Seat Safety Switch posted:Holy poo poo, 14 INCH was right about Pertronixes. How is it that most aftermarket electronic ignitions fail? You guys wouldn't believe how simple the mazda rotary and ford el falcon drop in style systems were; and no large heatsink or remote box required. (Mazda brought out the electronic dizzy in 1980s, and it just drops into any old rotary, just change the coils to 12v. Ford had a bad experience in the 1995 "EF" falcon with a computer controlled ignition, so for the 96-98 model -the "EL"- Ford just chucked in a regular dizzy with a small ignition module screwed to the side, just like the old mazdas had, but larger as it was attached to the computer unlike the older carbed mazdas. Nothing complicated, no external box, or massive attached heatsink, no crank sensor. Just simple small sensors for the hall effect shaft/rotor button that took up little to no room.

Nice one!Geirskogul posted:The compufire/pertronix setups are like that. Just a sensor where the points go, and a magnet ring. But it still failed.
