Ok, so I know I've posted this before, but I still cant figure it out, and I need to know all of the possible circumstances under which this condition occurs.
One of the throads on my dual carbs is excessively lout at speed. It sounds like pop-pop-pop. Any ideas? |

Sorry for testing your patience, ArtechnikA, let me explain myself.
I'm 19 years old and learning to work on my own car. I learned this supposed timing technique from my neighbor who has worked on old cars his entire life. I don't have the cash to take it into my mechanic, so I have to learn to do this myself. I static timed the car (and subsequently shocked myself with my home-made timing light). I timed it to the advanced mark on my fan. There's no change in the carburetor noise. Tomorrow i will borrow my neighbor's timing light and time it. Is there any way to tell if my engine is permanently damaged? |
