Looking over the Victoria British Winter Special catalog, I see that they
have a entire Weber DVG carburetor kit, hardware, air filter and intake
manifold for sale, at a price that has me asking myself is this a cure to my
overly rich running single Stromberg that I have had no luck in leaning out
over the past four years that I've owned it and two rebuilds later. With the
Stromberg my plugs foul out, soot in the tail pipe and vapor locks after
running it for a half an hour and shutting the car down then attempting to
restart it after a 5-10 minute stop. And oh yes terrible mileage and the ever
present cloud of black smoke and discolored chrome on the rear bumper.
So, I ask the collective wisdom of the group will DGV offered, free me from
the above ailments described?
And if so, what of the three offered models of chokes, manual, electric, or
water which is what my Spit had until I disconnected it and put in a manual
choke, is the best choice? If the electric model is strongly suggested,
where and how do you get power to it.
I have over the years have benefited greatly from the group, and appreciated
the knowledge gained in my requests and those of others who have posted. So
any insight or recommendations to my request would be greatly
appreciated...TIA
