I'm having trouble with the carbs on a recent purchase of a'73 1275 Midget.
I cannot turn in the mixture screws enough to keep the thing from running
rich. I popped the float bowls and it seems the little adjustor is missing
from
the float on the rear carb and I was wondering if that might be the problem?
Symptoms are:
- Runs rich with poor performance and black smoke.
- #3 plug fouls and is wet with fuel. (also misses)
- all plugs are fouled with carbon after a short run time.
The car seems to have good spark to all the plugs, so I don't think its an
ignition problem.
Anyone have any ideas or experience with this sort of thing?
