What's wrong with it? I've been running a stromberg for over 20 years with
no problems. I
*thought* it was out of whack once for the longest time and tried everything
to tune it with
no sucess, but it turned out to be a plugged cat.
Point is, the stromberg isn't a precision piece of equipment but it gives
tolerably good results over
a wide range of adjustment. Most "carb problems" actually lie elsewhere.
