thanks to all who offered advice, as well as therapeutic ridicule and jokes during the ordeal known as "learning to adjust and synchronize dual carbs." rather than use my time to look for gainful emplyment today, i thought it better to go and play with the carbs. and now they work! no more hunting at steady speed, idle right around 900-1000, smooth acceleration... it was everything i hoped it would be. well, except for the part about not being able to break the tires loose in all gears. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) i don't think i got the 40-50 hp gain i was looking for, either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
a very special thanks to dinomium, who not only helped out physiclaly, but also served as my on call tech support. dino, when i see you next (taking down your chimney? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) rebuilding your bathroom? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) ) i owe you a beer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) a special thanks also to Rhodyguy, who offered the use of his synchrometer, as well as donating parts! Thanks immensely! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) yep, i couldn't drive and maintain the teener without the help of this board and the good people on it. |

welcome back Dino! i had the car running in the driveway yesterday, warming it up to see if i could fine tune anything. while at it i drained the water out of the passenger headlight (i have no idea how it got in there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ). as the engine warmed up it just ran smoother and smoother. i decided not to touch anything, as i feared i would bugger it up!
