I took a look at the carbs that came out and noticed that the idle screws
were down much further that I had tried. In fact. they were down enough
that the pin that the lever pushes against is totally depressed. What is
the purpose of that pin? I don't see it in my books. Anyway, I then set
the screw down to approx. the same setting. This pretty much bottomed out
the adjustment (screw appears shorter than on old carbs). Started the car
and it idles at 8 to 900 without the choke pulled at all. Is the most likely
reason for this the cam? (which was in the car when I got it)..I will check
the valve lash as I did find the specs on it. Big difference from stock. I
show stock at .010 while this cam spec is .015 inlet, .017 exh. This seem
plausible?
