the saga continues... Options

[lotus_65]

for those who have read my posts, you know i've had an adventure with this car.
it's back, rebuilt 2056 and i ran it around some yesterday.

i've come to the conclusion that the single biggest issue, one that's caused the demise of at least one engine has been:
the PMO Weber 40 IDF that were put on because the guys i initially took the car to and asked to get tuned up were too disinterested in tuning the f.i., so they dropped a giant bill on me and didn't even bother saving the parts they took off.

now i'm not really calling anyone out here. i'm writing a letter to PMO about the carbs and i hope they will be receptive (they didn't resond to my e-mails before) and will at least help me figure out what's wrong... i'm not even going to bother with "the guys"... check with chappy if you want any more on them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

here's my logic: i have had these carbs feeding FOUR (4) different engines (2- 1.8 liter and now 2- 2056's). i (and no less than 4 other humans) have jetted, mixed, dialed, tuned and massaged them till the cows come home, but they JUST REFUSE RUN SMOOTHLY!

worse yet, now i get the same wonkey, popping (from both ends) that i have from each of the 4 tries. literally, the only constant between all of them has been the carbs!

whew! thanks for letting me vent.

if there's any kind soles who have a set to just let me borrow to get the engine dialed in, i would be entirely indebted. i'd pay for shipping both ways, and even escrow what ever value you think they are worth to prove i'm not going to run away with them i'd be more than happy to do that!

meanwhile, i'm composing myself enough to HOPEFULLY get PMO to help me out on this deal before i burn up another fortune in engine work.

wish me luck!

p.s. total miles on 4 engines mentioned: 22,465
