Re: [T3] carb o-haul

Well finally some carb's , I was getting sick of all that FI MumboJumbo,
....
Well I've found that there is no such thing as a good partial rebuild.
Go for the whole Kabudel!
I.e. take everything apart (noting every items place) , then you grind the
LOWER part
on a straight belt-sander or with sandpaper on a piece of glass(long and
hard), note that the little copper pipe that protrudes from the lower part
pulls out (with a small Vise and a cloth to protect it)get the little ball
that sits below it too.
Usually the top part is quite straight - leave it , this stage together with
TWO gaskets when you assemble will solve any air leaks here.
Check the Haynes for the jetting, or ask me I have them somewhere.
Use new gaskets and washers when assembling, also check that you have ones
on each end of the choke shaft (between the choke flap and the body), adjust
the chokes so their the same - open completely at the same time, adjust idle
etc.

Gas leak - could be you need the fuel shutoff valve (later replaced by the
electrical Idlers), Mid rpm miss - may have some thing to do with timing or
too lean (?)
