I know the single carb setup doesn't work well in the car, but I have a set of manifolds I got somewhere, and I was thinking about setting up an intake setup that would be used only for running the engine before installation in the car. Ebay has some weber carbs cheap, or I have an old 2bbl Autolite. Fire it off on ether, then steady state running at 2000 for 20min. Would that be useful?

I remember reading here that it's best to break an engine in on established carbs that you know are tuned properly and are not running too rich. I remember richness on break in will wash the oil off the rings and make issues for you down the road as far as sealing as concerned. I have a single progressive carb on my 914 and it's pretty hard to tune at all. most of the time the engine smells rich.
Oh, and search for my name in regards to cheap ebay webers. Jake Raby replied to those saying that the castings and quality of those webers on ebay is trash, and they're cheap for a reason. He had pics and everything of porous castings that would make the carbs completely un-tuneable Just my $.02 |
