Have an 83 Caprice, 229 with the Rochester Dualjet M2ME. Just rebuilt the carb, now it runs very poorly. Will barely stay running when pumping the gas, coughs flames out the top of the carb. Have not messed with the timing at all and it ran pretty well before the rebuild. Is it running too lean, too rich? I was a little unsure how far to tighten the screw that holds down the mixture control solenoid inside the main body of the carb; could this be the problem? I haven’t touched the sealed mixture screws.

do you have a book to guide you through the rebuild?. If not I think you should get a good book and rebuild the carb again. The Doug Roe book includes the dualjet
Don't forget we have the manual

As well as I know the Rochester family of carbs, I have failed miserably with the electronic versions. Mostly because I don't have the measuring tools to set things inside. It is probably a good idea to not change anything inside and just clean it.
