Howdy guys,
So i got the 2100 on the car and it drove pretty powerfully but just off idle it drove like it had a small vacuum leak. Well now its bad.
I replaced the gasket around the power valve cover and found that the cover was pretty warped. I had an extra parts 2100 sitting around so i took the one off that and put it on. Fixed that leak (I've been checking with starter fluid)
Now heres the bad one, after reinstalling the carb it got worse after i thought it'd get better from replacing the power valve cover. Now if i spray with carb at the side near the valve cover it just about dies (and has died), thats how bad the leak is. Also when i drive my AF gauge is all over the place and gets into the 16, 17 range when the throttle plates are not at idle. So I take the carb off and place it on a flat piece of aluminum..... its fricken warped a bit on the valve cover side. Like enough to probably need like 3 gaskets in place to fill it...... i shamefully put heavy duty permatex gasket sealant around that side of the carb and around the base. Very upset but i dont have money to buy another.
Can the warpadge be machined out? Like a belt sander or something? I'd do that when i go to put the new head on it.
Thanks guys,
Ryan
