Re: [T3] dialing in my carbs...


Hey Dave,

First try this, it is a grandfather peice of advice. 
hold the throttle open to about 3.5 k, then with both
hands put your palms on the throats of the carbs in
order to choke them. Hold this until the eng stalls.
What it does is the vacuum created is greatly
magnified and therefore pulls out all the crap and
bulid up inside the passagways in the carbs. My
grandpa used to do this on his old cars when they were
running rough. This usually solved the problem. He
also said start at the easy spots and work you way in.
The problem will become obvious. Anyway this is a
cheap and time inexpensive repair. Try  it first and
them see where you are. 
I just performed this because my web34's were doing
the same thing. I also turned the throttle screw out
from bottom 3 full turns. I am running a 009 but its
bug powered. 
-Sorry all you other guys I am building a super
stroker out of the t3 case when I get the space and
money :) - 
Also inspect your plugs!!!!!! You can read them like a
book! any cheap chilton or haynes will have a good
explanation of what the plug is doing. 
Let me know man I hope tis helps.
