Stalls after acceleration when dropping to idle

Your second carby doesn't has to be a Nikki.
If you are going for a second new carby, I would go for a Webber or a Holly.
Both available on fleabay, even cheaper than Nikki I reckon,& can yield lot more power with proper tuning.
Check bumtree. I saw a guy selling a Holley 600 for an RB30 for $100 or so. He also has an RB30 carby with a manifold.
Guy's in Perth. I wanted them, but he apparently won't post or separate the manifold & the carby.

from what i hear holley's arnt great for 4wd ing, on steep hills the tend to lean out too much. (just what i hear) if any one can tell me i'm wrong let me know, cos i will probably end up fixing up a couple land rovers (brother is a land rover fan) :(
i'm a webber fan got one coming for my laser, v-tec is not going to save you :tease:

Hey Garett,
We poor bums can't afford Webbers. So, if you are ok with donating a one, I'm happy to help with your charity by taking it. :D :harhar:
BTW, by the looks of it, Webbers are hard to come by comparing to Holleys( I meant secondhands).
If you find a one suitable for RB30, on fleabay or bumtree, pls let me know.
Can't afford brand news atm, 'cos I've been spending too much on other mods. :)

I've been advised, the below bumtree Holley carby is not suitable for RB30(too big)

Yep, from what I can find out, the 330 Holley designed for 4wds are good, (company in Queensland do them), but they are not cheap... I've also been warned they have mechanical secondaries and don't mind a sip of fuel or two, although that's just the usual blokes drinking beer round the fire talk.

I have rebuilt and put webber 34ADM's from the 4.1 cross flow XE / XF falcon on a couple of different motors before, I put one on an old hard revving gemini, fuel usage was high but it made a TONNE of power!

I'm still also toying with a fuel injection transplant from an R31 skyline or VL commodore, just dunno, I do like carb simplicity, but I would also like extra power for highway, even with removing the heater element thing, a bit more would be nice.

I still think I'll go the rebuilt carb route, just want to make sure it's 100%, I hate reliability issues....

You are not likely to get extra power by converting to EFI, but fuel economy will improve.
Check with the link I gave you. $50 or less for a carby+ manifold+air snorkel pipe is a good deal if you can pick it up.

This may seem simple but have you checked to see all the linkages are working free and smoothly? I'd suggest a good going over with wd40 and check to see if there's any detached springs.

Thanks mate, I've found it is often the simple things that get you! I've had the air cleaner assembly off and all the linkages are working perfectly. All the springs are attached and the electrical connections all seem ok :-)

All good then. Any vacuum lines off or split?

They all seem ok so far but a couple have hardened up with age so they'll be getting replaced this weekend, along with a few other maintenance things, and a couple of little improvements to my cargo area set up
