Well... Ive been waiting to work on the nice low mileage virgin carbs on my
Crate for a while now... I adjusted the fast idle with the gap spec in my
Ken Ball book but quickly realized that things werent right.
Tonight I got home and couldnt find my Ball, so I grabbed my Haynes and
Walla! there it was! the gap spec to the idle screw for the fast idle..
.090, but what I figured out is that there are TWO fast idle speeds, The
Super fast speed (.090) you only get if the choke plate really closes FULLY,
like in the winter. but there is another step that you get if the choke
plate simply closes a little bit (roughly .030). No need to have the choke
fully close to get some high idle... so now with things adjusted like Brian
showed me with just a light spring action on the chokes I should have no
question about getting some high idle... and only get the real fast idle
when I need it when things are real cold!
Quality time with the Carbs!
