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. |

who tells you these things?? do you have a little BS fairy whispering in your ear at night???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) that carb will flow enough to feed a motor up to 3800 cc's (depending on rpm of course) it has nothing to do with size, it's the piss poor logistics of getting air AND fuel from the carb to the cylinders.... now back to the question...can you adjust the accelerator pump? (these should have "something" akin to that I would think???)...it sounds like it's starving for fuel at acceleration (which is why one person recommended to run the carb a tad rich) |
