Need carburation advice double SUs SH6
Learned friends,
Slowly dealing with one issue at a time, but now it has become urgent that I solve a carburation issue: the engine starts instantly when cold with the choke out, then it starts to fail and dos not hold in idle, unles I pump the accelator to keep the rpm fairly high (around 1200). Hen the engine is hot it just won’t start. Mexico City varies en altitude between 7500 and 8500 feet, the car was setup at sea level, the linkage was painted and is hard to adjust, and I am in the process of obtaining new linkake. When the car is running has a very stinky exhaust, which leads me to believe in an extra rich mixture. I have a couple of books on how to set up the carburators, but I have been unable to find altitude related tips. Your advice is kindly appreciated Happy New Year to all of you Andres |
