I believe I have a small problem with the stromberg starter bar. The small spring attached to the starter bar operating lever does not appear to do anything. However, when I manipulate the starter bar operating lever with a finger , I can raise and lower the idle without things bouncing back by activating any of the springs in that area.
For now, I would like a place to study up on how the starter bar works and how the spring end is supposed to operate. Advice would be good too, but I think this area needs a reset To work properly.
I am fairly certain I am in trouble here because I am fiddling around and really do not know enough to push through this issue. This came up as a problem when I was attempting to change my idle to time the car with a strobe.
My car was running great with good response to the throttle, just idling a bit too high (900 rpm) to get around the vacuum advance. I fear I should have left well enough alone.
Any advice here would help— even if the conclusion is too pack up the carbs and send them to a rebuilder.
be well all
