    Wiring a 305 tbi to run?

    Goodmorning everyone!! So, after a little thinking and a lot of internet surfing, Im strongly considering keeping the existing TBI on that 305 V8 in the tractor project... Next question, is how to wire it in? I know this tractor isnt going to have any electrical requirements that even...

    I thought the same thing and ran it w/ the intake hose off and it made no difference. And, I took the carb off yesterday, took it apart, cleaned it up (even though it looked fine) and put it back on today..... no change whatsoever.... that is definetely the end of my 'possible causes'... I need...

    I'm kind of intimidated by the whole tearing the carb apart and putting it back together process. I don't want to mess it up even worse. If I play close attention to how things come apart and put them back together the same way will it be ok? And, what about cleaning it? Will it be fairly...

    No luck..... I didn't take the carb apart b/c when it was rebuilt 2 months ago it soaked for 3 days so it shouldn't be gunked up already. I did take the needles out and fill it with carb cleaner for a little while, drained it, set the idle needle to 3/4 turn open, set the main needle to 1 1/4...

    Thanks again guys! I'm heading out to my property here after work to tinker with it a little. I printed off the carb photos/info... I'll report back tomorrow!!

    Looking back at these posts it is kinda confusing! With two Jerry's etc. Just to clear things up, I am the original poster, I just had to register in order to respond and I use buckeyepost as my username on other forums... so, [b:e3f331db65]buckeyepost=Jerry P.[/b:e3f331db65]

    Thanks guys! My name is Jerry too, so dagger is probably talking to me. The timing light ordeal sounds like more than I know to do. But I have been pointed in that direction by a few people. Would that still cause the plugs to foul so quickly? This is really great for me guys! I don't have...

    Not sure if that picture came through.... but, is the air bleed jet the little tiny thing towards the bottom of the carb next to the drain plug? I don't have my manual to refer to right now, just trying to know what you're talking about. And, I agree... it has to be something with too much fuel...

    Jerry, I believe you have helped me before on another forum! Firing order and spark are good but I'm not sure if I know how to check the ignition timing advance.

    This is all good advice, I hope to get out to it again soon to try some of these things. Last night I also took the needle and drain plug out and sprayed some carb cleaner up in there... again, no difference.

    I'm not sure about the float height b/c I didn't rebuild it, an old pro did it. But, I did get the advice to tap the carb with a rubber mallet to possibly free a stuck float but that didn't do anything.

    Thanks John, I did check the plug wire locations last night, compared them to the block and my TO-20 manual.

    Hmmmm, very interesting.... is there a way to use the new points with the old condenser?

    TO-20 stumper

    I actually never even choke it to start, just a little throttle is good enough. And I have tried everything from 1 1/4 - 2 1/2 on the carb needle. After I changed the points it ran well for 3-4 hours and then it sat for 3 weeks and that's when I began having problems. I did twist the distributor...

    This is Jerry P, I just registered.... I haven't looked in the air tube but that would make sense. I added oil and the screen looked clean. I guess I could just pop the ait intake off of the carb and see if it runs better, that would tell me if it was intake related, right?
