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. |

are you talking about ME?
YOU cool YOUR jets..... I didn't have the money/time to put into getting either the 1.7 FI or the 2.0 FI to work correctly....so the solution at present is what i did... it runs good enough at over 90deg...drove it everyday. With the exception of my one problem, I spend less time on the side of the road now than I did before...and with that, I call that more reliable... yeah I know that me getting high 20s/low 30s MPG is because my engine is breathing through a straw and that my engine won't last that long blah blah....I know that already, but this 1.7 was kinda just thrown in the car to get me going awhile so I can save up to build my 2.2 or bigger engine....with megasquirt. so yes, I *KNOW* that my carbs worked way better than both my 2.0 and 1.7 FI systems in thier current state, but I know that I could do better too. soapbox mode=off |
