Hey all,
I'm still trying to work the bugs out of my '72 2.0 with dual webers. The engine is supposedly a power engine, that was tuned and dynoed. I have the tools, garage, but not the carb know-how. Something is still terribly wrong, the flow gauge shows 7 / 6.5 at idle and 20 / 10 at a higher rpm (2000 i think). At full throttle both throttle plates appear full open. I set the idle with a feeler gauge on each individual carb, went 1 turn after that, and a little more on both sides. It idles fine. Timing is right, ignition hardware is all new. The valves sound ok, but they might need adjusting. Either way, I need to get this car running sooner rather than later. Is there anyone in my area that can help? I'm willing to pay. The car is in upper westchester, it is registered and insured. Presently not streetable due to turn signals and an engine that has no power/farts a lot under any load. Thanks --Yarin |

Hey Erik,
Thanks for the offer. I'm going to check the valves and adjust if needed this weekend. I don't want you to take a trip for nothing. I will also check compression. Thanks! I'll give you a ring after this weekend. Larry... thanks for the offer. I might end up doing the same, who knows. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
