RE: [T3]Power and carbs


-The Haynes covers dual carbs, but not Webers, only Solex. A copy might
still provide some insight.

I'll have to try and order one of those, then.

-Lack of advance would give poor power, but would not give you the
non-operation of one side at idle.

Jim, I checked the dizzy, and it springs right back after I twist it.

-What's this about a goofy gauge that splits the fuel lines?

It's a round thing with numbers on it, 1-5. Bob thinks it's a fuel
regulator of some sort, and he's probably right about that so I set it
at 3 after trying all of the combos, even though it doesn't appear to
change anything but that's only sitting at idle. Before it got dark
(only had a half hour of time out there) I tried just pumping the left
carb to see if it was getting fuel. It is. I wasn't able to get a socket
to fit over the plugs to pull them for a color check. Either my sockets
are too thick-walled or I've got to pull the covers for access? That
sure sounds dumb to have to ask that but I couldn't get in to those
plugs last night, but in my defense it was already dark by then.
Providing those plugs check out it seems to be leading to the combustion
side of things from what you guys are saying.
