RE: [T3] car woes.....

[Stieg Hedlund <SHedlund@blizzard.com>]

I have dual Webbers and have had similar problems when the bit that connects
the carb linkage to the rod spanning the carbs is loose. I might not even
seem loose, but it really needs to be cranked down, with Loctite, etc.
Starting out is really hard without stalling, then the carbs stick open and
the engine revs super high.
