Hi all
I have a running engine after the fire rebuild, but the carbs are a bit of a mess.
The fuel levels are wrong, one too high and one to low. I have tried the acrylic rod but my eyes are not as good as they once were, or my method is faulty.
The throttles are not closing evenly, when one is seated in the bore I can still get feeler under the other.
I am sure I am pulling air into the engine, one of the exhausts gets cherry red very quickly! So a good coat of looking at needs to be applied.
I will pull them off in a day or so and renew the bearings, and have another shot at the setting the levels on the bench.
The cork seals on the shafts seem a poor idea to me, does anyone know any reason not to use sealed bearings?
I am also minded to ease the fit of the screws in the butterflies with a file to enable them to centre and seat evenly in the bores, is the any reason not to do this?
Advice from those who have been there would be appreciated.
