Maybe something is blocking the vacuum port on your carburetor?

Is your vacuum line tight on the carburetor and the distributor vacuum canister?

hi there,yep the hose its attached properly to both sides believe me, today in the mornig i went to the shop were y buy the repair kits for solex,and the attendant spent few minutes to me to check the problem and he showed me up a posiibly spot that i can drive me to the problem: If you remove the lid of the carburator,were the 5 bolts are attached you can see that there is a hole under the main jet nozzle a hole coming from the vacum plug in others models cames from the main idle adjuster(carburator) so tinking that the vacum supposed to come below the "throttle plate"were has the best suck power so he say that this is probally a vacum leak, however tomorow mornig i`ll put some welding stuff to fill up the hole and let the vacum down there start to work if this doesn`t fix the failure I`ll be no quiet and and may think to choose for the 31pict-3 even that my engine its maden to run with 30 pict3 i cant afford to keep runing my engine in poor condition too rich coz as you know no vacum advance it to wash the pistons with gas that does not fire.... anyway i`ll replay with new news"hoppe so" good nigths
