Re: [T3] Smoke


I went at the problem as systematically as I could this evening, absolutely
by the book.

I couldn't get the carbs to balance, and that was when I realised that the
throttle stop on my left hand carb was having no effect. I disconnected the
left hand linkage and the rpm went way down. I was able to balance the carbs
with both linkages off. I think that what happened was that when I replaced
the linkage pivot I made the accelerator cable too taut, and the throttle on
the left hand carb was being pulled slightly open.

I readjusted the linkage and accelerator cable, but didn't have time to test
it before it got dark. Did I do the right thing?

I think I've just solved a pretty major problem, but I am not sure whether
this is finally IT.
