I have been dealing with this for about a week now but it has become rather untolerable now. When I start up my truck, the left Dell whistles at about the time for compression. So I have 'whis whis whis whis' and so on. This is at idle, no other time. It is pretty loud now and I have no idea why this is going on. I just rebuilt both carbs and the only thing I can see if that 1,2,3 all run at the proper idle, or uni-syn they are all at the 1st line. But #4 is at about 2 1/2 lines and I cannot get it below that no matter what I do. Could this be the valve is just too tight or loose or stuck or something? Or what do I have wrong?
Thanks in advance.

| Have you checked for a worn throttle plate on number four barrel? |

I don't see where in the book it says Throttle plate, if that is the plate that looks like an egg that controls the throttle linkage then no that is fine.
As I was coming home tonight, the whistle is still there but now it has a grind built into it. I am thinking maybe a tight or busted valve now and will see what I can see either tonight or tomorrow morning.
Still, if there are any ideas, I need all I can get. |

No, the throttle plate Eric is referring to, is one of the two butterfly valves on the very bottom of your carb. The common shaft that links them, can get worn in it's bore sometimes, causing idle and mixture problems. |

Good good, now if it happens I will know for the future. The problem ended up being a bit worse. Seems that #4 intake valve got stuck somehow and, well, you know what a pencil shaving looks like with a cheapy hand held pencil sharpener? I had taht but of aluminum. I replaced the head and it seems to run just dandy now, even got up to the car show I wanted to go to and won the trophy for my class, hehe. Competition between 3 buses in a show with well over 400 cars. Thanks for the help though folks, do appreciate it.
