Hey,

I just installed new bushings in the throttle shafts on my '66 with a 1200cc and a PICT 28 carb. I carb kit has been in it for about a year, but hasn't been on the car expect for a couple of days due to it leaking before.

My question is it normal for the carb to be a little slow to idle down??? It seems to run fine and butterfly isn't sticking. It just takes the car a little a couple-three seconds to idle down.

Is that normal for these early carburetors? :?:

Thanks,
Winslow

I would have to say no, not normal behaviour.

No, my 28 PICT is rebushed/rebuilt and it drops to idle much faster.
No different than any other carb. I have had.

Hey,

Thanks guys for the responses!!

Well I'll run it for a while and see what I can find out. This is my first time trying to rebush a carb, the don't see where that is causing a problem as the butterfly closes like it should. I might try putting in a new kit... maybe the acc. pump is sticking a little and providing some fuel...

Thanks,
Winslow
