Re: [T3] Dual Carbs


I know... but I think your too rich.  To keep a cold engine running smoothly
you need a richer mixture.... that leans out at the proper rate when the
engine warms.  You need Something to do that, chokes for carbs and temp
sensors for FI.  You can simply set the whole curve to run rich but then it
will be too rich when the engine is warm, or you can live with hesitations
and rough running for the first few miles.

Ive set my chokes to stay open... and its 5 minutes before I can drive the
car... in the Summer!
