Howdy folks,
It's me again.  I am now having the fun of learning about Zenith 
Stromberg carbs.  I have new kits in both and mechanical functions look 
good (not much wear at all).  I can't seem to get them to work well with 
the choke off.  I pull the choke out 3/4 and they start great, but it 
needs to stay there in order for smooth acceleration.  If I close the 
choke after warmup, I get  sputtering acceleration.  Is this caused by 
fuel starvation via lean mixture?  I bought the carb adjusting tool from 
TRF but it doesn't seem to fit the carbs.  I have the late model carbs 
3771 from a 75 TR6.  The tool has an allen wrench type head, but the 
carbs look like they have a different type of adjustment when I look 
down at the needle base.  It seems like the tool should have a recess to 
go fit over the adjustment "tab" in the carb.  Am I making any sense?
Thanks in advance, only one week more to car show and car still not ready!
