Re: [T3] Carb tuning


Daniel,
Also check the throttle lifting rod with the 2 nuts on it that lifts the
throttle during choke operation. I found that if it was allowed to twist
when the nuts were tightened, it could bind in the arm of the throttle flap
and cause the symptoms you're describing.
Good Luck
