The last carb rebuild by me was probably 2002, but maybe only 4,000 miles since then. My occasional driver; it has about 105k miles on it. The car had one DPO, he did a valve job at aroung 75k miles. I'm certain carb shaft bushings were never re-done. Problem is-- Engine hot, after a few minutes of stopandgo driving, I might reach say 3500 RPM in normal shift sequences. When I let off the throttle during shifting, or want to decelerate, the RPM sometimes stays at the high peak-- like 3500! A few frantic kicks of the pedal will "usually" bring things down to normal idle-- but it's dicey. There is no stumble on acceleration. I have inspected the action of the pedal/carb linkage when car is at rest, and nothing there seems amiss. So I don't think the linkage is hanging up somewhere (externally). Dashpots are losing oil 'too quickly' and I always have to top them up after the car sits for extended periods (weeks) following, say, a 90 mile drive. Yesterday I pulled the air cleaner for a look, and noticed both carbs have oily gunk on the piston and the contact area of the carb bottom interface The rear one is worse than the front one. Not much doubt that the bypassing oil is responsible for the gunk-- but can the gunk be the cause of the symptom? After some carb cleaner spray, and cleaning out the reachable areas, and adding some oil, I notice the pistons lift normally, falling with a normal 'click' . Prior to the cleaning, the pistons didn't fall normally, but were hanging up slightly when falling. I pulled the carb tops and lifted out the diaphragm/piston/needle. The diaphragms seem ok to me (no obvious tears or cracks) and the alignment tab was correct. I suppose "pinholes" could be there, but not visible...? Pistons look fine, the needles are straight and move correctly against their spring action internally. I have some spare o-rings for the dashpot oil chambers so today I will install them. Could the leaking oil and subsequent gunk I mentioned be the cause of the throttle staying high, as described? If so, then the cleaning plus adding the new o-ring on each dashpot should eliminate the problem. Any comments appreciated. I'm aware that anything beyond this procedure (relatively easy, carbs remain on car) will likely require pulling the carbs . Then we are looking at things like butterfly hang-up... float behavior...float valve... bypass valves... and so on, right? Who sells the best quality float assembly replacement? And which vendor's carb rebuild kits are "best", which partly means "they include the dashpot o-ring" as they should. ISTR years ago, some kits didn't have that o-ring.

What are my options?

1. Buy a new top or,

2. Try to repair.   (what are the products you guys  recommend?)

Note: my cracks are at the fold ( passenger side window) that include tears and partial separation of the plastic window from the vinyl and small tear in the vinyl top at the fold.

Hi guys,

Don't let this hi-jack the original question, but regarding Larry's comm= ent below: Thirty years ago I put a new top on mine and although it's still= on the car, it has the same issues in the original poster's question, sepa= rating on both rear corners. Ten years ago I put a new top on my brother's 73 TR6. Ever noticed that TR6s o= nly have 3 snaps on each side, but Spitfire's have 4 snaps each? We made a = very simple modification and put 4 snaps on his. Top always folds in betwee= n the corner and rear window and the windows still look brand new. The top boot goes on much easier to= o with the top nicely folded flat on thy vinyl not the plastic. <= /p>

The pistons hanging up in a high position will certainly do it. That lets more fuel into the carb throat. The throttle shaft seals are probably worn so the carbs are sucking in air from there. Add the extra fuel to that extra air, and there's your problem. Changing the o-rings in the pistons is a must-do but get ready for a rebuild. The rebuild kit includes new bushings for the throttle shafts. I've never done it, but I've wondered if spraying some white grease onto the throttle shafts where they enter/exit the carb body might temporarily seal the air leak caused by worn seals, or even better, cause the seals to expand a bit.

Regarding the high rpm issue, while indeed the issue = may be the carbs in which case just discard this reply. In the case of my '= 75, the cause of a 2000 rpm idle turned out to be worn springs on the distr= ibutor or maybe it was just nasty inside. When all other remedies failed an= d it was obvious that the distributor was at issue, I sent it off or rebuil= d and it now idles perfectly.

Just s= ayin',

Gents,
The car is 74.5 wi= th stock Strombergs (175 CD-2 SE) and stock engine, .
The last carb reb= uild by me was probably 2002, but maybe only 4,000

hanging up somewh= ere (externally).

Dashpots are losing oil 'too quickly' and I alway= s have to top them
up after the car sits for extended periods (weeks) f= ollowing, say, a
90 mile drive. Yesterday I pulled the air cleaner for = a look, and

one. Not much doubt that the bypassing oil is responsible for the =
gunk-- but can the gunk be the cause of the symptom?

and adding s= ome oil, I notice the pistons lift normally, falling with

If it was just a = tear in the vinyl you could put a patch behind it.

Glad it worked out.  I wa= s losing those instruments and devices intermittently among other issues.

Once I realized they were all on the s= ame circuit, with some manipulation and they would come back only to go aga= in.  So I replaced the fuse box.  This resolved about 95% of the = issues.

Corrosion is maybe too strong= a word - but oxidation will certainly occur over time and impact the conta= cts.

Hi Guys,

This summer the Six has developed a strange vibration. I'll try to descr= ibe. 


Seems to come and go, mostly around 50-ish mph. Feel it in the seat-of-p= ants. Doesn't really feel like a U-joint but I'm not sure. Rear hubs were r= ebuilt a couple years ago. Rear axle U-joints were replaced with hub rebuil= d, but drive shaft U-joints haven't been done. Seems like one of the drive shaft U-joints may have been done y= ears before but can't remember.  Front end was rebuilt about 5 ye= ars ago, not sure if front bearings were done then, think so. Tires are nea= r end-of-life. Need to be replaced due to age and tread is thin but just haven't done it yet. No accompanying noise,= just a new strange tingle in the butt. (haha)


Any ideas?

Hi Guys,

This summer the Six has developed a strange vibration. I'll try to describe.


Seems to come and go, mostly around 50-ish mph. Feel it in the seat-of-pants. Doesn't really feel like a U-joint but I'm not sure. Rear hubs were rebuilt a couple years ago. Rear axle U-joints were replaced with hub rebuild, but drive shaft U-joints haven't been done. Seems like one of the drive shaft U-joints may have been done years before but can't remember.  Front end was rebuilt about 5 years ago, not sure if front bearings were done then, think so. Tires are near end-of-life. Need to be replaced due to age and tread is thin but just haven't done it yet. No accompanying noise, just a new strange tingle in the butt. (haha)


Any ideas?

I'm not saying this is your problem but it might be something to consider. Have any other 6pack members experienced anything similar with their steering racks?

Hi Sloane,
I sympathize with you. I've been going through the exact same thing since I rebuilt my TR6 10 years ago. When it first started happening, right around 50mph, I could feel it slightly in my seat. All the universal joints, all the suspension parts and links were new from my frame off. I rotated the brand new tires and rebalanced which didn't seem to help. I bought replacement steel wheels, dial indicated them and and remounted the tires on the best I had with no change. I purchased some Minilites, no change (but I wanted to get those anyway and the car looks cool). I replaced the rear hubs with Goodpart hubs. A slight change in the seat vibration but still there. After a couple more years, the vibration got steadily worse and the front end started vibrating quite noticeably at 50. I ended up removing the front wheel hubs and truing them up in my lathe. No change. I've now replaced just about everything and was at the end of the line until I mentioned it to a friend of mine with a Six a few states away who I see occasionally at TR events. He had the same problem and went through similar trials and tribulations until he rebuilt the steering rack. That cured it for his case. Thats now on my list for the winter months as a last resort to try.

I'm not saying this is your problem but it might be something to consider. Have any other 6pack members experienced anything similar with their steering racks?
