Q & A: Adjusting Carbs

John,

I just wanted to tell you how valuable the 'adjusting your carbs' part of your seminar was this past Feb. You may not remember, but you demonstrated adjusting the carbs on a GT. The car was running very rough with the #1 and 2 cylinders not firing. The problem was no fuel from the front carb.

This past weekend, I took my TC on an extended drive with the rebuilt carbs. The car ran fine for an hour or so, then began missing out. After a couple of stabs at points, etc., I discovered that the #3 and 4 cylinders were not firing. I took the air chamber off of the rear carb suspecting that the piston was sticking. When I did, the jet needle fell out!

I repositioned it, tightened the set screw, and reassembled. The car runs like a champ!

Thanks for an excellent confidence building experience.

Mike

Mike!

Thanks for the kind note. Hope those carbs continue to operate correctly!... read more
