Believe it or not, there are different size damper "barrels" for a given
application. I have found that these often are replaced over time and give
headaches for fine tuning. Now, whether or not that has any effect on the
cap unscrewing is over my pay grade and data bank. I'd probably remove the
fiber washer and see if that gives a couple more threads to secure it.. the
cap is vented anyway..

Hi,
A Healey question this time.
One of the three black plastic caps on my tricarb(!) keeps coming unscrewed.
That carb seems to be set right/same as the other two.... ie its mixture is
set per the book and it sounds the same through a length of hose as the
others. The car runs well, touch wood, with no unseemly banging and fizzing
from exhaust or intakes. No running on etcetc.
The carbs are HD6s, not HS4s, and they've been quite recently completely
refurbished.
What's going on?
Thanks,
|
