Could you guys take a quick look at this video of my carb:
http://drunkencrab.com/temp/carb.mpg The barrel on the right is to the front of the car if it matters. This is a single progressive carb (which I have no experiance with up till now). Should I be seeing fuel to both barrels, or is this working as it should? My car runs pretty poorly, and has no real power (I have to race the engine to take off). Thanks guys! |

Looks to be working correctly, the second barrel opens mechanically around 3/4 throttle. These carbs generally have a big off-idle flat spot that's worse in cooler weather. That may be why to have to race it to take off?
Had one of these carbs on my first 914, always wanted to give it the float test. |
