Jerry,
This morning I performed three of the tests that you suggested and here is the outcome.
First I let Lucille warm up really good to about 150 degrees. The idle with choke fully in finally settled down to 475 RPM after I disconnected the wiper vacuum and hooked up my vacuum gage. Vacuum at idle was 12-13 inches. Dizzy was 2 degrees advanced.
Test #1 was for fuel pump flow rate. You said it should be 1 pint (16 oz) in 30 seconds. My gas volume was 5-6 oz in 30 seconds at idle .
Test # 2 was the RPM/Vacuum drop test at 1100 RPM.
Cylinder #1 = 1100 RPM and 17.5"
Cylinder #2 = 1050 RPM and 17.5"
Cylinder #3 = 1100 RPM and 18"
Cylinder #4 = 1100 RPM and 18"
Cylinder #5 = 1050 RPM and 17.5"
Cylinder #6 = 1000 RPM and 17-17.5"
Test #3 I pulled out the choke about a half inch and it seemed just slightly better but no strong acceleration on a hill.
Your opinion?
