time for a rebuild. its been not working right , just slowly getting worse. I took it apart to see if I could see anything. there was some grit in the bowl . but when looking at all the gaskets and the pump assembly and other parts , they looked worn.
and after talking to Cliff (Cliffs High Performance)
http://www.cliffshighperformance.com/the worn parts are due to the ethanol in the gas and cheaply made overseas parts.
Pluss with the Performance of my 400 I will do a few other mods to the carb.
so I ordered his HP Rebuild Kit w/Idle Tubes + Secondary Metering Rods + Bottom Plug Kit + Secondary Cam and Spring
I'll show ya how to rebuild it , but wont get into much detail on the how to's unless you ask. there is really nothing to them and I cant see paying 200 to 300.00 + the kit , to have it rebuilt. Cliff's rebuild can cost up to 600.00.
the cost of mine should be 175.00 when done.
130.00 kit w/mod parts, the top plate and body with a new CAD finish 45.00
