problems with 40's

[dj_wudgey]

ive put my 40's on and im having a few problems firstly the breaks are sh*te now!! ive put tape around the bolt where the vacum pipe bolts into the manifold and i think im still having a loss of vaccum but tried all sorts no improvements!!!

secondly ive fitted a new linkage and when i let off the revs take ages to come back down!! i should be able to sort this problem tomorow with more playing around with the carbs moanin old c*nt neighbours would moan if i carried on now as its loud!!!

any one know how to solve this??

Are all the vachum hoses on mark and have you used thread tape for the servo takeoff?

Wrong idle jets can cause the revs to stay high buddy my convertible does it, is where the vaccum pipe goes into the brake servo a good seal?

damen yes mate i have!! im going to put more on tomorow though to see if i can get a beter seal!!

and thanks compton ive got another full set off jets so ill try fit some more!! and its a good enough seal ive tried pushing it up to the servo hard and the brakes are still w*nk lol

hmmm, you havnt got a manifold air leak have you as in a bit of crud under the gasket or something?

[dj_wudgey]

i may have mate!! ill have to get it off and check but ive had it running ok once and now its poo lol

as for the breaks **** knows the break pedal was pulsing before at times when i pushed it hard now its not but there just hard and dont exactly do much i may change the servo and the fluid blead them up ect see what happens!!
