Hi Folks, I am fettling my engine after a complete rebuild and am setting up the Stromberg carbs (SV) and have followed the basic set up - checked float level, starting from jets flush , centered, have nice clink on dropping the piston, backed off 2 1/4 turns, still nice clink..
So how many more turns do people see before the mixture is correct? I seem to be backing them off a lot more to get the engine to "rise in speed and then level" when the pin is lifted!
The carbs were rebuilt with new spindles, butterfly's, jet's and metering needles and was running well, if a little tired, before the engine rebuild and have since been refreshed with new gaskets, float needles and diaphragms only because the rebuild has taken over 4 years and it seemed like a wise thing to do.
thanks
Gary
