Anyone going to the Roundup that might want to give me a hand fine tuning my carb. LOL its been 30 yrs or so since i'v had a holly and i have never had a vacuum secondaries, electric choke. i think i have it close but just cant seam to get it perfect.
I would if I were going. Should be several people willing to give you a hand. We had several parking lot projects last week. Electric fans, brake line leak, carb adjustments, plug changes etc.
Somebody will be able to help you out. Just today we had a how-to clinic on how to remove the trim from around the door openings and the trim from the rain gutters. More clinics on tap this week.
It does get chilly up here at times, like -10 plus i live in the snow belt. there can be 30 in of snow at my house and 5 mi east grass showing. wounder if talking about snow has anything to do with it being 101 deg yesterday
Set the choke so that it just closes when completly cold. I'm guessing you know to re-jet it by going up and down on jets sizes and reading your plugs. On the vacuum secondary, if you "feel" the secondarys come in like a kick in the pants, the spring is too heavy. Change to a lighter spring untill you don't "feel" it anymore. The secondays should come in progressivly for optimum proformance. Just don't go too light that it doesn't come in. The float level is a play as you go adjustment for me. Too high, and you flood it. Too low, and you get lag. Good luck. By the way, adjust the choke when the seasons change.
And you drive it in weather like that ? It gets down to the 20's here and I have no trouble starting any of my carbed vehicles at that temperature, even without a choke.
After i get done with the front brakes tonight I'll have to do the spark plug check , I know its running to rich, you can smell it,s rich (can you tune a car by smell ) man i got a lot of stuff to do tonight before I can leave for Dearborn tomorrow.
its hard to tell by smell a lean car will smell bad also,you want the plug tan colored,and look for a timing line on the strap of the plug ,and the heat range about 2 to 3 threads up on the plug
Well after i finnished the front break job and repacking the weel bearings I did the spark plug check and as i thought its running to rich, but its to late to get jets for it so i will have to wait till we get back from Dearborne to play with it.
