[T3] Dual Carburetors

[oofacts@earthlink.net]

Ok, so I've been reading Muir and looking at my carbs.
First off, I have Weber ICT 34s. I understand these don't have a choke on
them so I don't need to worry about it. Muir says the automatic choke
tendfs to make the car run over-rich so this is one less cause of
over-richness I have to worry about.

So I think I found the IDLE SCREW: Its brass colored, and its attached to a
lever with s vertical spring on it. This Mechanism is attached to the arm
that comes off the throttle lever (in the center of the enginge) to the
carb. This is the screw that regulates the amount of (air? fuel?) allowed
into the carb at the throttle butterfly valve. Got it.

I also found the IDLE AIR SCREW. Base of the carb, also brass, inserted
into a spring.

Now, the first thing Muir says to do for synching the carbs is to pull off
the linkage arm to the right carb. He says this will be easy, because its
end is spring-loaded to fit over balls on the "linkage lever". What the
hell is the linkage lever? The throttle lever on the center of the engine,
or something on the carburetor?  Either way, no matter how I push or pull
on the ends of this arm, it ain't coming off nothing. How and where do I
get this off?

Let me get something else straight. The accelerator pump: is it the squarey
thing on the right of my right carb, way towards the front (Front is
front)? On my right carb the fuel line attaches at the FRONT. On the left
carb, it attaches at the REAR because the carb is mounted in reverse. This
would put the accelerator pump at the left of this carb, I guess.
Let me just get it straight that the accelerator pump is NOT the mechanism
to which the idle screw is attached.

How'm I doing so far?

Let me know.
Mike
