My quadrajet #17083244 is extremly erratic every vacumm plugged.everything hooked up correctly even a fresh rebuild same problem's.Will not idle, erattic idle.When i put my hand over the top slightly starts to idle higher like it is sucking air from somewhere.I installed my other unit which been using since day one from a 86, 307 freshly rebuilt by me idles perfect put my hand over the top of that carb and the engine dies out in other words it is working correctly like it should.
I would rather use the correct unit #17083244 for carbed hot air engine it seems to have a quicker throttle response then the 86" 307 carb
Plus the 17083244 carbs linkage geometry is perfect for the aplication.It has just been a pain in a as s. I adjusted everthing to speck tinkered with it also under a running condition still screwed up thou,what should i look for here.It is acting the same before and after a fresh rebuild..
Now the weird part about this whole thing is the carb i got from the forum the other day that was for sale the 17082244 is kinda doing the same thing
erratic idle,put my hand over the top seems to suck air from somewhere by idleing higher,The only difference in both the 17083244 and the 17082244 is the 1708244 that i got from the board the other day idles and dosnt die out but is eratic, but idle rises sometimes while driving creating an unsafe conditon 9lbs of boost even thou im off the pedal weird.I have to put car in nuetral and shut it off.Nothing is stuck either.
