mark, i was thinking instead of working on tuning 1 or 2 cars, we could put on a little class. i was gonna print up some hand outs to give out. we could go over weber theory, synchronizing, air/fuel ratios, and tuning. that way everybody can learn to tune there own cars. and then we'll all have an understanding on how the carbs work and what effects jetting changes will make and why. i think that would be better than 10 guys trying to look in the decklid while one guy is trying to explain things. i could even get some poster board and make up some drawings so we are all on the same page.

It'll be pretty much your gig, Doug. Sounds OK with me ... but I'll still offer up the 'BB' as a lab experiment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I vote for August 18th or 25th. If it's not one of those Saturdays, unfortunately I'm out.

Well, this more about what date works best for you guys. Post your choice of August 18th. or August 25th. Majority will dictate the date.

I tried to edit the first post to add a poll, but couldn't figure it out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Either date, August 18th. or 25th. is OK with me. Once we have a consensus, I'll post a definite date ... and of course a start time (914-ish)?


Doug, which of those two Saturdays do you want to do this on? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)


EDIT:

Saturday, August 25th is the date ... gates open at 8:00 am-'ish

25th looks clear to me at this point.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) TV shows seem to add days some times.
If I come I will bring my gear and shoot the event, and post it so others can injoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) maybe even bring my heat press and print some shirts (if some one does the art work)..just bring a white t-shirt.

Mark and Doug,
Any chance you'll be discussing the tuning of 3bbl 40 ida webers.
I'll bring my 6 as a guinea pig.

Simply put, carburetors atomize a fuel mixture, shouldn't matter how many throats you're dealing with.

A neighbor's Dellortos stumped me last week, though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) ... I should snag his manual to better learn the difference from Webers.

I'll let Doug chime in on what he'll be offering at the clinic ...

I'm down! Let me see if I can try to make this! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

No carbs, but it'd be cool to stop by and hang out!

sure, bring it. ive never had the opportunity to tune a 6 cylinder. but i bet the fundamentals are the same. especially if the 3c ida's share the 2 barrel layout..... just another float bowl and barrel, i would imagine. hopefuley someone will chime in who knows what the differences are.

Mark,
I don't have carbs but looks like fun. It will be nice to check out your new shop too.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
You may have to do this more often for us FI guys.
The only thing I know about the ruby914's AFR is, it can't be correct.
