The really neat thing about Weber DCOEs is they are basically infinitely 
adjustable, with all the different emulsion tubes, main jets, idle jets, 
choke sizes and such.  The really bad thing about the DCOE is that it is 
infinitely adjustable, and can be quite expensive and time consuming 
going through different emulsion tubes, main jets and such looking for 
the right combination.

If possible, hook up with someone in the club who has some experience 
tuning the carbs and can get you close, before you spend a fortune on 
calibrated brass bits.  If I lived nearby I would be glad to assist, 
with my little tackle box with $1,000 worth of jets but Salt Lake City 
is a long ways from Pennsylvania.  Hopefully you can find someone closer 
to assist you.

Hugh,

Great news! I love the TR3 and you have followed the advice of most
long-time WPTA members which they've also shared with me - buy the best car
you can afford and spend more time driving. It makes sense to enjoy what
we've earned in life and our children are smart enough to figure it out
after we are gone. I may have missed it but please share a picture of the
new car.

Tim

Hi Jim.  First of all, as a long time (55 years) MGB owner and =
wrench/restorer/racer/what have you, why would someone put a DCOE on a =
stock MGB?  You=E2=80=99ll get much better drivability from a pair of =
SUs.

I don=E2=80=99t know anyone in WPTA, or in the Greater Pgh. MG Club who =
can help you with that carb.  You might contact Jim Boffo (Boffo =
Motors), in New Brighton.  Jim might be able to help.  Also, =
there=E2=80=99s a guy up on route 8 (Don Fowler, I think).  Do NOT =
entrust those clowns at Foreign Traffic with anything.  Period.

=20

Where are you located, by the way?

I love this.=20

I am a new MGB owner and trying to learn what I can.   I love the car =
but having some issues with idle and backfiring. =20

The car is a stock 78 (recently restored), with a DCOE carburetor.   No =
choke.  Seems to start with a low idle so the engine rocks a good bit.  =
Once it warms up it is smooth.=20

=20

The concern is have is when I go into a turn in 2nd gear, and press the =
accelerator, she bogs, and bucks, and backfires.  To get through I need =
to apply clutch and feather the throttle.=20

=20

Anyway, anyone have some advice on tuning the DCOE?    As I said, I love =
the car.  Just not happy with how it runs in certain conditions.=20

BTW, if this email is not appropriate, please let me know.  New to the =
car and the WPTA  =20

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

=20

I did purchase a 1959 TR3 from John Guehl in the Pittsburgh area. I =

There was a lot of gas odor in the car after filling the tank so I =

See pictures .

Again thanks for all your help.

I greatly appreciate it !!
