Carb slide doesn't go all the way down after installing Heiden Dyno Kit

[cmills83]

I have an '80 with a set of bs34's and bought the Heiden Dyno Tune Needle & Jet Kit off Mikesxs.

After installing it seems like the slides fall a bit slower but also don't go all the way down like they do with the stock needles. I tried changing out the needlejet's but that didn't seem to have an effect. Also, it seems the right side sits about 1/8" higher than the left. Will it be okay to run on the carbs as is or is there something I need to do or fix?

Thanks

Hi,
As I remember the needle plastic bushing has a pin that has to locate in a hole in the slide. If it doesn't, the needle won't sit straight and can hang up. You might want to pull the carb cover and check that.

I'll check that thanks. I don't remember lining that up.

Yep, that was it. Thanks again
