What I really have against it is that the webers run it too rich... and the
proof is that if it starts and stays running without chokes it is running
too rich. OK, try this.... take a stock engine and carb setup, adjust the
chokes open and try to start it. It wont stay running, youll have to keep
feathering it so that the acc pump keeps it rich for several minutes. Do
this when its freezing out and you wont be able to drive it for over 5
minutes. A stock 65 Notch should do around 30 on the highway at 70, and
about 24 in town so your a bit rich.
Ive driven 3 webbered Squares over the years with stock size engines,
they were all Dogs when you really put your foot into it, I didnt however
try to adjust things to verify it was all the carbs fault.
As for the 009, as we found out a month or so ago, its a distributor for an
industrial engine which sees constant RPM so its curve would be very wrong
for a conventional application. Im not sure if the modern 009's changed
from the original bosch curve but then they wouldnt really be 009... in any
case they seem to have too little advance.
