Re: [T3] A backfire sorta noise

["joshua brooks" <joshua_bro@msn.com>]

I have the same setup on my square. I've had the carbs apart before and 
remember that the Idle jets a 152's and it runs and idles well. Sorry but I 
don't remember the other jet sizes. A friend of mine recently bought a set 
of these carbs new and his idle jets were 160's wich is probably way too 
rich. My car sometimes postignites,"pops" when I first start it on cold 
mornings. This is probably due to the lack of chokes and poor fuel 
atomization when cold. Does your noise go away when the car is warm or 
happen more during any specific driving conditions? Any exhaust leaks will 
only agravate this problem. There is information specific to your carbs at 
redline.com. I hope something here helps
