I just got my 3.3 re-sleeved and can't seem to get it to idle anymore. I tried everything that came to mind, even went to the LHS to see if the 'pros' could get it going, so far, no dice! One of the guys said to go back tomorrow and swap out carbs to see if that helps.
I thought maybe the seals were bad, but there were only 2 on the motor I could find. The motor runs OK, but you have to keep the throttle trim up to keep it going. As soon as you hit the brakes, it's done. The idle needle doesn't respond to inputs whatsoever and the HSN/LSN don't have any clear tuning points. (starting out stock settengs. every time the car needs to be re-started.
Anyone familiar with this problem? Got any possible solutions, tips, or similar situations?
Thanks!!!

Yes my Jato 3.3 didn't respond to anything like you are saying, i'd trim the idle to make it run but when i hit the throttle she was done.
Where the HSn is there is two washers that are actually seals that were not sealing, i tried new one but that didn't work either. So i just took them out and put two small o-rings in there place and that took care of it. Sound like you have a air leak somewhere. Take off all your fuel lines and check good. Take your carb off and totally disasemble it to check o-rings. I took mine apart and put back together like 5 times to find my problem. Basically check everything that is suppose to seal that might not be sealed.
