A decent 1975 Palma Green came to me last year, from Cali with very little rust and original paint. She was running ok with a single carb. I changed it out to a set of twin 40 IDF Webers and she has not run decent since. The cheapskate in me has considered simply sending Tangerine $400. and getting it right, but ...
I can get a smooth idle at 5 -6 on a snail, but increasing the throttle opening a small amount I cannot get equal air readings from 1-2 to 3-4. Compression ranges from 110 to 125, leakdown ranges from 5%-18%, valve clearances at .006. The characteristic popping and poor running are the result of this unbalance condition. thanks in advance |

No question the Tangerine linkage is the best, but I've been really happy with the CSP linkage which is reasonably priced. Well, as happy as I'll ever be with anything carb related. Will be going back to FI soon.
