Hi Craig

I Have:
Choke tubes -------- 30
 Aux. venturis ------- ??
 Main jets ------------  130
 Emulsion tubes ---  F9
 Air corr jets --------- 190
 Idle jets --------------- 45F9
 Pump jets ------------ ??
 Pump exh valve ---- ??
I bought the carbs on Ebay from someone who had them set up for 5000 feet
altitude. They had 165 air correctors  and 55F8 idle jets.

I have the Haynes manual and read a few sites, the most useful one was this
one.

Has a lot of good stuff on selecting the right parts.

I have no clue how my cars runs other than it now starts in the garage.

Hello Paul,
The looks and sounds awesome.
Watching the video got me thinking about my TR7 weber carbs.
Here is the current carb set up that I am running...
 Choke tubes -------- 30
 Aux. venturis ------- 4.5
 Main jets ------------  125
 Emulsion tubes ---  F9
 Air corr jets --------- 155
 Idle jets --------------- 55F8
 Pump jets ------------ 45
 Pump exh valve ---- 45
 
My question to the group is... My car tends to run rich (full throttle land
speed racing) and rich is better than lean.
To lean the mixture which pieces should I change and which direction should
I go... And how far?
Thanks in advance for feedback... I'm racing mid-may at Maxton.
