| Today I was able to get almost everything adjusted, following ratwells guides. I am stuck on balancing he mixture of each carburetor. Both Bentley and Ratwell suggest starting both screws 2.5 turns out then disconnect the pilot cutoff and note the rpm drop. Disconnecting the left pilot cutoff drops the rpm to about 600 but no matter how much I tried to adjust the screws disconnecting the cutoff on the right always kills the engine. Should I continue to back out the screw on the right? or will both screws need to be adjusted to correct this? |
Did you synchronise both carbs first?
I’m a little confused to what you are doing now?
First they must be synchronised, then you adjust the idle speed with how you are describing above, NOTE both carb screws should be turned an equal amount, once the rpm drop between each carb is the same by disconnecting the cut off valves you can then actually adjust the idle speed and mixture using the top set of screws on the left hand carb, the large one is the idle speed adjusting screw and the smaller one is the mixture control screw.
Must be done in that order, no point messing with idle adjustment if you carbs are out of sync.
