Re: idf 40's
Are you saying the cylinders fed by one of the carbs are not firing? Do you have the carbs synched or is one carb way ahead of the other. The pistons create suction whether they are firing or not so you should see some vacuum unless the throttle plates are totally closed. If the carbs are not synched they will still both work once off idle, I have had seriously unsynched IDFs that would make the car driveable but not idle.

i am saying there no indication of suction on the carbs that are on 3rd and forth cylinder,. according to the synch toolcarl wrote:Are you saying the cylinders fed by one of the carbs are not firing?
