I actually sketched the cylinders and cap, and numbered them on the cap and cylinders. Then I put the wire for each bank in a loom that clamped them, with most of the slack taken out of the plug side...

Yep - messed with it again today - set the idle at 10* @ 1000 Rpm, thinkin' that's gotta be close. The idle mixture screws make no difference at all to idle until they are within 1/2 turn of the...

I have read that it's a Carter AFB clone, but I still think your onto somethin' here. I found a manual for it, so I'm just going to have to read it, and stare at the carb till I understand it. The...

I am using a light - had to hang a mirror and paint the marks with white out. It's an Eddie 1410 carb on an AirGap RPM manifold, with the two idle mixture screws out on the front of it. The manual...

The idle is turning into a new durn project. I cannot get it below 900 R's, and even then it's got no guts. This thing only has 8" of vacuum. The TB IV module says V824. I gave it about 14 degrees...

Used to be 800 R's in neutral, never saw the tach when dropped in gear. Now it doesn't like to idle below 900 R's. I would have thought that between the timing and carb, the only thing messed with...

That's pretty much my thinkin', RT - I just worry that that Merc shift linkage mounted to the elbow may be one of those 'gotta hold your mouth just right' deals. They talk about a shift linkage...

I gotta tell ya, Griff, I been thinkin about that. I don't know how a real wrench man would time it with a light, since it has a bulkhead 2" in front of the pulleys. I'm thinkin' about tryin' to do...
