I've been a lurker for some time, and thanks to all of you for your insights, as
well as the terrific URL's.
I have a binder of info I've printed off the web as a result.
I can't imagine how much harder it must have been to be an LBC fan before the
web.
My '77 Spit is not roadable, and will hopefully be so by spring.
I have some carburetor questions. The idle speeds up as the engine warms, from
a feeble 650 or so at cold to about 2400 when hot.
I cleaned the single CD4 carb up with spray cleaner and that helped, but it's
not cured.
I got the Haynes manual last week, and noticed they put 3-way oil in the damper
- looks like the stuff from the hardware store. Is it? or is there some special
type?
Could low oil in the damper (mine's bone dry) cause or contribute to this
problem? And what does the oil do?
I bought some 3-way oil, but I'm leery of touching the carb. Any advice is
appreciated.
Regards,
Paul Meyer
