- Many thanks to all for helping with my "heel ond toe" quandry. I think I'm well on my way to having it licked, with everyone's great advice and help. Moving forward (remember that I've only owned thi

- When you slam the throttles closed, the mixture in the engine goes imediately rich until the unburnt fuel in the intake tract is used up. This is an emmision no-no. The system is designed to over-ru

- I'll assume you cehcked the obvious binding of the throttel cable... Sounds like you're experiencing the effects of the poppet valve on the carb throttle plates. The plate is fitted with a spring lo

- I believe it's caused by the way dashpots work. Not necessarily the oil as I use a 20 wt. in mine and have the slow return to idle as you do. No smog stuff on mine at all. Mike '79B (SU HS4's) /// or

- This is normal for that car. But you can fix it !!! By 1971 the carburetors had an overrun valve. This is a small spring loaded poppet valve which is part of the throttle plate. When you lift off the

- Ok, so why is it that on the emission controlled cars, removing the gulp valve can lead to backfiring? Is it something inherent in the Z-S carb? /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool ///

- That is annoying, isn't it? When I picked up my '69, brand new, that's how the engine behaved. Slow to return to idle rpm. Caused by the emissions control equipment, primary the gulp valve and the t

- Bill answered that one. The system works together. If you remove one part, other areas can tend to give more of a problem. On the MG the gulp valve feeds air into the inlet under high vacuum conditi
