I've seen the advice... dual carbs or FI... DON"T GO SINGLE CARB! I plan to return to FI, possibly over the winter, but unfortunately right now all I have is a single carb and it's not running very well and I want to drive the car for a while before winter.
Anyone have a single progressive carb setup that runs OK? Not looking for blistering acceleration just something driveable. My problem is giving gas off idle causes a stumble and I need to work the gas to be able to accelerate. Don't know if single carb can be driveable or if just something wrong with my setup. Have tried different settings of mixture. The car is a '71 1.7L with Weber 32/36 DFEV. |

I have been living with the same setup for the last couple of years. I am also planning on going to stock FI this fall. I am currently using the car every day, including during our CA central valley winters. It is OK in the spring, summer, fall, and a dog in winter. Have you checked the idle speed and mixture? I don't seem to have too much trouble once the car is warmed up. My idle is set around 900 rpm, with the mixture set about 1/2 turn counter clockwise from a just smooth idle.
Sorry if this is not much help, but it can run well enough to be a fun drive in not too cold weather. |
