Do we have any carb experts on here that may know how the 2150 is plumbed internally?
I have pulled the feedback solenoid off the back of mine and replaced it with a block off plate. This solved a idle mixture problem I was having due to a defective feedback solenoid but messed up the main circuits. I am thinking that it meters the amount of air into the emulsion tubes to adjust the mixture and by blocking it off I have killed my mixture as anything outside of an off idle condition it is just running way too rich with no power.
The carb body has 2 small ports and one large one where the feedback solenoid mounts. Anyone know where those ports go to and what they do? I am considering either putting a bypass slot in my block off plate to connect them or trying to find an aneroid that would fit and see if that might help.
BTW, I did try to rejet and dropped from the stock 50's to 48's and that helped a little but judging from its impact I would have to drop at least 8-10 jet sizes to get it close and aside from those jets not being available I would think the engine would then be starving for fuel. The carburator also has just been rebuilt and all seemed to be in order mechanically.
Ideas? Thoughts?
Thanks,
