Hello TMers
i know the above dits, date back to 2020 but i have a couple of questions.
I have just had my twin Webers 40s rebuilt and my mate and myself have had fun and games. First one of the carbs kept flooding, this was caused by the smallest piece of rubber, from the fuel hose getting past the fuel filter and stopping the needle valve from lifting, which of course stopped the floats from lifting and shutting off the fuel and hence overflowing carb. But all that is sorted. When the carbs were rebuilt they were tested on a Ford Pinto engine and all was great. All the readings using a Synchometer (Balancer) were equal. (The guys who rebuilt then sent me a video proving this). Since putting the Webers on my engine, the forward Weber is showing higher reading than the back Webers. (Tested with my Synchometer) So i would like to check that the Advance and Retard is correct. I have found the notch in the front pulley and it seems a few degree out using my strobe light. Is this correct bearing in mind the car is now unleaded, it has been up-rated to 1700 or just under. The engine is a Ford Kent Crossflow with electronic ignition. When i rebuilt the engine, I Say rebuilt, I mean the head was removed, and de-coked, i did check the TDC position, that was about 2500 miles ago! Also i noticed above the mention of a Vacuum pipe (Arwyn Williams) , what is this? Basically we want to check everything on the engine is ok before we start tampering with the Carbs!
Your help as normal is greatly appreciated.
Regards
