The 1.25" HS-2 carbs behaviour was still odd.... still not
synchronising like I've been used too. Weird idle behviour.
So.... I decided to go back to square one and not take anything for
granted....
I disconnected everything and gave everything a much closer physical
examination
Lo and Behold!!! Looking down, the rear carb's throttle spindle can
be moved vertically at least 1/16" only on the left side of the body
... I'd been checking the right side only... it is easier to see when
the carb is on the motor!!
So, when the throttle is opening, the left side lifts up by that
amount before the butterfly starts to rotate -- !*&*%$@ and a few
other descriptive words!!
The bad one is an AED328R - solid butterfly. I have a spare AED549R
1.25" rear cab with a good spindle that has the poppet valve which
has been soldered shut (and very badly done).
My question is... Are the carb bodies, the big bottom bits,
interchangeable?? They *seem* to be identical...
Can I swap the body (the bit that holds the jets, butterflies, etc)
from the spare to the one in the car, swap the butterflies, etc.,
and get myself a useable carb??
I'd keep the jets, needles, piston, etc as is from the one on the
car.
My alternative is that I do have a Weber DGEV from a running 1275
with a Manifold that I can put on... I just have to fabricate the
bits and pieces for the choke and throttle cables??
Suggestions?? Opinions??
