How thick is that STOCK needle SPACER??
04/22/10 at 05:15:09

My '86 has that occasional 'hickkup' on cruise.. its ok on accel and decell.. just hickkups on cruise at low speeds under 45.. if I go faster its good. I opened up the carb but the spacer looks to be already modded.. it measured a wee bit under 1/8". I also have a fairly open muffler.. loud with baffles..

I just wonder if it has already been shaved and if it has , I may take it out and see what happens..!!

I believe mine was .110 thick, I did 1/2 at .055 Mine was surging badly at low speed cruise, 2nd & 3rd gear,.....choke on 1 notch would improved it. After the 1/2 spacer mod, it runs perfectly in all ranges, and starts and runs w/ less choking time when cold.

Reply #4 - 04/22/10 at 12:17:41 that's great Mr. Hyde.. it is comforting to say the least that my spacer is stock or at least close to stock.. I remember thinking that it was a tad less than 1/8" (.110"??) but definitely NOT in the .050 range!!!! Thanks guys!!

Reply #5 - 04/22/10 at 13:02:09 Proves one thing, close tollerences wasn't hi on the list of priorities of the carb mfg. Or, different spacers for different areas of the country ??

Reply #6 - 04/22/10 at 17:20:11 you gotta wonder what effect fuel would have on it too... swelling or shrinkage???
