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! |

QUOTE I would also advance timing by ear, Meaning until you have detonation at hard throttle while driving and then back off timing until detonation is not present Good way to cook an engine..... just because you can't hear it does not mean it's good..... use a timing light I agree and disagree.....I will time my engine with a timing light and then push the advance beyond.....Always get a better running engine. I've been doing this for 20 years to various aircooled rides and have never cooked an engine. The 32/36 carb will never run well unless timing is maxed out! It will be obvious timing is to advanced when car has a hard time cranking when starting, When this occurs retard timing until engine will crank normally. Advance will be beyond the 27 degrees reccomended for injection timing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) Try it you might like the way your car runs under 1500 RPM. There are book facts and then real world tried and true findings. IMO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
