Re: [T3] engine(carb) problems

["Herman Haustein" <haustein@netvision.net.il>]

I'll check the timing , again. CR isn't to high - 7.5 (I run 96 octane).
I don't see how the dipstick will show heat - it's barely touching oil and
no other part of the engine.
Carbs are Solex 32's one new and one rebuild to specs jets etc. are correct
per Haynes.
I'm missing the air filter pre-heat unit , should I remove the weighted flap
at the inlet ?
Thanks for the help so far
Herman
