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! |

Back in 82 I ran one of those set ups for about two months and it never
ran right. Its like pouring raw fuel into the cylinders. You really would be better offf running two one barrels. |

I totally agree. I'm getting two dellorto carbs from a guy on this board, but it's going to be some time before I get them - and probably longer before I learn how to sync them. The car idles great, and works fine under speed, but when the light turns green I really need to rev it up to 3k to gently pull out. I think 50% of my problem may have been the air filter, and I've put about a can of carb cleaner down it - that may have helped. I'd really like to get a good understanding of this carb, and how it works, in case I need to continue running this for a while. |
