So I'm goin over the Duke in preparation to next weeks's onslaught, and I
can't quite get the rear carb to behave. Either the float level is too high,
or its too low! Undestandable except I'm hardly movin the float arm. And then
it hits me... Uncle Jacks been having bad floats with the current gas! Sure
enough, the float "sloshes" when I shake it. I'd like to think that I would
have eventually figured it out, but for some reason the net wisdom (thanks
Jack) came to the forefront and saved me a bunch-o-time.
And a-nother-thing... Has anyone with an IRS car had the rear axle lube climb
out of the vent hole? ThunderHill has a combo of a fast left at turn one and
a veeery looong left hand turn two. I think that the lube is plastered on the
right side of the diff case thru these turns and coming out the breather
hole. I've never had this happen on a straight axle car no matter how long
the corner, but am new to the IRS third member with its smaller confines. Is
this something to worry about, or is it just a "normal" IRS event?
Has anyone else noticed all the crows lately???
