All,
Here=E2=80=99s another thing to ponder whilst I wait for my rebuilt lever sh=
ocks to arrive..
My engine will idle under the following conditions:
Idle screws are backed off all the way, not touching the plate, therefore no=
t opening the throttle plate. (In theory, they are fully closed.)
Mixtures nuts all the way lean. (In theory, there should be ZERO fuel going i=
nto the carbs.)
Both the throttle and choke are loosened from the linkage, making sure jets a=
re all the way up, and throttles are not sticking
For the record, these are professionally rebuilt HS6 carbs, with super throt=
tle shaft bushing, perfectly centered jets, etc.
In what is ostensibly a ZERO fuel/air mixture, how is this engine running?
Do these engines just have a magic power to idle when starved?
Has anyone else witnessed this on their own cars?
If so, should I do anything? If so, what? (other than maybe looking to mak=
e sure the needles/jets are matched correctly)
Kind Regards,
