I've got a 1500 Midget in Kentucky which I got from a dead guy in Arizona whidh obviously came from California cause it has all kinds of "California only" stuff on it. My question is do I need the gulp valve if I've got the weber carb. How do I close it off if I don't and how should it be attached if I do. Something needs to be done wih it cause it's killing my power. I've plugged it and that just busted the rubber connector/grommet and created a lot of soot from the air manifold
This is what my Haynes manual says it's supposed to do...
A gulp valve is fitted, to California models only, in the supply between the air pump and the inlet manifold. It's purpose is to lean off the rich fuel/air mixture present in the manifold immedialely after closing the throttle following running at full throttle, that is on engine overrun. The valve is located on a cylinder head bracket adjacent to the oil cap.
