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


sorry for the delay in responding.  I've been away... looks like I have some
catching up to do!

I have the mixture screws open just over 2 turns... followed the WEBER Set
up and adjustment data I found on the web

http://www.redlineweber.com/html/Tech/34_ICT_tunning.htm

Perhaps I interpreted it incorrectly, but it seemed to me that the intent is
to keep the adjustment as close to 2 turns as possible.  if the screw is
more than 2.5 turns out, a larger idle jet is required.  If less than 1.5, a
smaller idle jet is required.  I assumed that since my engine was relatively
stock (1600cc w/a mild cam), the stock jets and adjustments would work fine.

I guess my questions now are, what's the problem with opening the mixture
screws more than 2 turns?  If opening the screws further (like 3.5 turns at
least) works, why do they suggest that new jets are required?

On to the next posting,
