>>I have a few carb questions concerning my 69 TR6. I am idling pretty
>>rough
>>and am reasonably sure its the carbs. Once the car is good and warm it
>>runs
>>great, but likes the choke about half out until it is fully warm.
>>
>>1. I note that my front carb has no gasket between the halves of the
>>bypass
>>valve assy, but my back one does. Which is correct? How does the
>>bypass
>>valve work and under what conditions is it supposed to work.
>>2. How do the temp compensators work? Are they to be normally open or
>>closed? I understand that its a bimetal strip, but when the engine is
>>cold
>>started is the valve open or closed?
>>3. Is there a way to replace the body side hinge of the floats. The
>>float
>>assy itself is fine, but the hinge on the body of the carb has been
>>"abused". I would feel more confident of its free motion if I could
>>replace
>>it, but have never seen a discussion of it, nor does it obviously appear
>>removable. Now on the other hand, its clearly not a part of the metal
>>body.
>>None of my parts catalogs identify it as a separate part.
>>4. The guy who did some work on my engine removed all the vacuum
>>connections
>>and plugged them save the one doing the adv/retard to the distributor.
>>N.B.
>>Emissions inspections are not a concern as I am exempt. Remember this is
>>a
>>69 with minimal stuff anyway. Anyone else done this, and what effect
>>did it
>>have?
>>
>>Thanks for your help and assistance.

>>Now to drive all you snow birds nuts..... Gotta drive from Atlanta to

>>Ga. tomorrow, its only about 45 minutes to an hour away but, forecast is
>>for
>>64 Degrees and sunny. Oh boy! Gonna take the '6.
