Fellow Listers,
I got my new 1275 started for the first time today! It sounds
great! Of course with every new startup there are some teething pains.
The HIF44 carb I am using will only run the car if the choke is held
open. It will not run on the throttle. I am breking in the lifters on
the cam this way for 20 minutes right now, so that is O.K. After that I
would like to run the car on the throttle. Any ideas? The carb was
rebuilt and modified by Phil at APT. I just got off the phone with him
and he says put some tape over the float bowl vent and see what that
does. Huh?
