After Al helped me with my T5 tranny issues, I decided to just get the car running and check things out only running 1 carb. So I took off the outer two carbs and put block plates in their place.
Now I'm going to give it another honest shot and getting the offy working.
I've got them hooked up , but I'm running into two problems:
1) I can not get the RPMs down below 1000 at idle.
2) I'm not sure when the outer carbs should be opening. I originally set them to open at the point that will allow all three carbs to be completely open at WOT. Is that the right setting? If so, is it right that the outer carbs don't open until around 3500 RPM?
I tried setting the outer carbs lower, but it seems to flood the engine and kill the power.
I must say...with the Offy in place, the car sounds like a fire breathing dragon. I can even get a good wheel spin in now.
One other question, do you grease the mechanical linkages?
