Carbuartor Rebuild
Posted by Sam Sargent On 2011/6/28 21:54:09
- Just completed a carb rebuild on my '50 Deluxe Eight (Carter WDO 644sa carb), and noticed a hole between the two intakes of the manifold just below the carb. (see pic) Wondering if this is hole is by designed, or became an "automatic modification option" with age.
Also, the first start-up & test drive after the rebuild, the carb seemed to be starved for gas when accelerating beyond idle - however, it did seem to improve with more "blow-out" passes up and down the test route. Float height was adjusted to proper spec and of course idle valves were adjusted. Is there any suggested adjustments or opinions - or should I keep up the test runs with hopes of more improvements.
Thanks in advance for the advice & comments!
