Well - I filled the car up with fuel (just to rule level out) and drove back
down to the school parking lot. I made the hard left and as soon as it
started to die, I shut off the fuel and ignition and opened the hood. I
pulled the float covers off and the rear carb float was full (flooded). So
know I know what the problem is. It doesn't do it going right. I am going to
check the float, needle (new and check again). Could be a bad float or it is
binding on left turns. Any way I am super jazzed I could figure this out
before Seattle.
I am getting there. I must say having never working on or
driving a TR before I start this project I have learned alot.

Here is what I
have done with some great input from several FOT folks. I am
narrowing down
the problems some what.
Here is what I have done. As they say
start from a
measurable starting point.
* checked points and timing
*
re-centered
the needles (the front carb was sticking - fixed now)
* changed
from gross
jets to needles supplied from Joe Curto
* set the floats to 3/16"
*
installed vent lines
car runs great in a straight line. It seems to be
loading up on left hand turns. I am attaching a photo of the carb set up.
Based on the many FOT posts on re positioning the floats should i do that
next. It loaded up so badly the car stopped. Should i change the float
levels to 1/8". I am I missing something obvious?? I am trying to sort as
much of this out as I can before I go to Seattle Thursday for the Historics.
Thanks for any input.
