So Ricky is Mike's full time mechanic, I just get called in once in a while for odds and ends. Ricky went to tech school, learned a lot, great worker, smart kid. I've been working on LBCs longer than he's been alive. We had a minor disagreement today. So this rough running Midget with the 1275, dual SUs. Put your palm over mouth of the front carb, the idle speeds up and smooths out. Put your palm over the rear carb, engine stumbles and dies.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net I have never claimed to be good with carbs, but here are my thoughts. It sounds like the back carb is way too rich and the front carb is way to lean. I would think the back carb is providing almost all of the gas for the car to run on. As to the cause, I suppose it could be several things -jet adjustment - float level - stuck piston as Jeff suggested - idle screws set incorrectly. But somehow the car is running rich just off the back carb.

The carbs have noticeable wear on the throttle shafts, waiting for the owner to decide if he wants to live with it or go for full rebuilds. mjb. _______________________________________________ Spitfires@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive From spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net Tue May 28 19:29:05 2013 Return-Path: Delivered-To: mharc@autox.team.net Received: from autox.team.net (localhost [IPv6:::1]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 093C540534 for ; Tue, 28 May 2013 19:29:05 -0600 (MDT) Delivered-To: spitfires@autox.team.net Received: from p3plsmtpa11-05.prod.phx3.secureserver.net (p3plsmtpa11-05.prod.phx3.secureserver.net [68.178.252.106]) by autox.team.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 146E24043C for ; Tue, 28 May 2013 19:28:09 -0600 (MDT) Received: from Datsun ([76.184.166.234]) by p3plsmtpa11-05.prod.phx3.secureserver.net with id hdQ91l00N53lu5001dQBtW; Tue, 28 May 2013 18:24:12 -0700 From: "Dave" To: References: <51A00942.7020402@bradakis.com> <51A53BEC.6080004@bradakis.com> <51A53E08.3000708@charter.net> Date: Tue, 28 May 2013 20:19:42 -0500 Subject: [Spits] ebay seller sportscarpartsltd Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Errors-To: spitfires-bounces@autox.team.net just thought I would mention that I purchased a master brake cylinder from these people back at the end of march. I contacted them through the ebay messenger/mail service, and told them that I had just installed it last night and it leaked. they replied that I should check the fittings on the reservoir and the seals to see if that solved the problem. if not, it was under warranty and they gave me their return address in Knoxville, TN. I'm pretty impressed and thought I should pass this along. _______________________________________________ Spitfires@autox.team.net Archive: http://www.team.net/archive
