Hi everyone,
My 75 is ready to drive again. I fixed the oil leak from the main seal a couple of weeks ago and all is good. As I continue to do the shake out of the car, since I'm on the tail end of the restoration, I've had one problem the entire time and I need to get it fixed now. Cold or hot, as I'm driving there's a flat spot when I shift between gears. It bogs and then picks up again. It's particularly noticeable from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. Sometimes even when starting for a dead stop. I know NOTHING about carbs but I'm willing to jump in. Does anyone have any experience with these symptoms? Is there a write up on the world that I've missed? Would anyone be willing to work for high end craft beer and good pizza (along with an hourly rate) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm in north county inland San Diego (Valley Center) Mike |

Just an FYI, my goal is to have a solid driver that has some balls to it when I want hot rod around.
I'm thinking about moving the main jets to 120, the venturis to 28 or 30 and the idle jets to 55 and then time and tune from there. Thoughts? |

I am a carb guy and am running a similar motor and she did not like 32 vents, but runs great with 28's. I am not sure of the mains, idles, airs, .... but like Phil says, start with the vent's and go from there. Do you have any of the Weber tuning manuals? |
