Has anyone said Barra yet...? Fuckingimagine it...

I DON'T LIKE IT IT MAKES ME FEEL INADEQUATE AND ASHAMED OF MY OWN PATHETIC EFFORTS WHEN I MAKE SOMETHING SLIGHTLY WONKY...

Are you sure the vac secondaries are opening? I think you can put a rubber band or something on the linkage to see if it's opened properly. Maybe the diaphragm is leaking? I have the same carb. Pretty sure the standard ones have fixed secondary orifices. I bought a kit that added a plate with replaceable jets. I also bought variable rate secondary springs to tune where they come in. You shouldn't feel a sudden surge when they open, it should be fairly smooth. They're a good carb and reasonably simple. Loads of online help available in American forums etc...

I recall seeing my first one in Street Machine mag and going WTF? I like... Have since seen them in the flesh and yes bloody cool cars.

Hush...

NO I'M BARELY ON THE SPECTRUM I'VE BEEN TESTED

Came in to say exackery that. BUT. Cos I suffer engineertism. I run spreadsheets itemising parts, freight, exchange rates and every option of sourcing said parts...

Are banjos all fingerpicking?

WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS THE DELIVERANCE SODOMY SONG DINT WE...

I hope you used asbestos for the snow...

A good mate has a tidy 6 cyl Fairmont wag. I keep trying to get him to triple carb it. Bloody love that setup, and it's a bit different to the 8s you see everywhere 🙂

Shitchyea. I approve wholeheartedly of another XY Mont... Sad about the hidden sins and missing bits, but sounds like you have good plans...

Oh nice. I've got 3 of these, meant to get them going for the kids. Kids now pretty tall New tyres? If so where did you find them?

When it's cold check for spark, and fuel. If it has both, a compression test might indicate valve issues. Could be as simple as finding the choke position it needs to fire. If the plug is wet it could be flooding. My CTs the same, takes a million kicks when cold. Pull plug and dry it and it normally gets going.

I bought a Kirby today,marketplace special. So LOL to use, I feel like a cross between a 1950s housewife and Freddy Mercury. Certainly well built. I'll keep an eye out for attachments. Polished alloy, solid construction, easy to tinker with. It should be the OS vacuum of choice...
