Gotta be warm to do it. I set the mixture by the book
(the 1-1/2 turns out thing) and then turn each scew in 1/8
turn increments whichever direction makes the idle speeds
up. Only do one carb at a time. Turn and wait about 30
seconds before turning more. Keep turning until it slows
down again. Where you were before it slowed down is where
you want to be.
Set idle by pulling one plug wire while idling. You want
each side to be able to idle about 5 times on its own.
Pull, let it die, reconnect, restart, and repeat until you
get them both about the same.
Hope this helps!

As far as synching the carbs, I do not have the screws in the manifold to tap into to do this, should I even bother drilling the holes in them to use my carb stix? What steps should be followed, I gather 1st turn the idle screws all the way in (clockwise), then back them off 1 1/4 turns, then set the mixture on each side (my right side seems to be dead on per the spark plug condition, left side appears too rich (blackish)). After mixture is set, go back and adjust idle speed on each side making sure to do them evenly? Keith Ruff 71 Police Ambassador - NJ |
