Okay, I tried to follow the directions carefully and even had my warm beer
to prove it, but I need help. These carbs are on a TD which hasn't been run
in 25 years. I have cleaned them up and put in the Moss rebuild kits and the
motor runs good but I think a lot rich. I went about regulating the air
flow first and I think got them pretty even. Then, I started the mixture
adjustment, un-screwing the nut one flat at a time(as instructed)--it seemed
to not run as well, so went to starting place and tightened one flat at a
time--the car seemed to run better--tightned more, car seemed to run
better---it continued to run better up to ten flats and I stopped because I
had only two flats to go--since I had started at them twelve flats or 1 1/2
turns from the stop. The car continued to run rich---I would raise the
piston 1/16 of an inch and the motor would speed up and continue to run at
that speed. I need your advice.
Does the tightning of the adjustment nut makes the carbs run leaner??? Could
it be that these carbs need more than a rebuild kit--maybe new needles?
Other Ideas?
Thanks in advance
