Listers
I am in a dilemma. My engine has been completely rebuilt and it runs, but I
am having trouble adjusting the SU carbs. I can not get the engine to idle
and at low rpm's it will die. Since I can not get the idle down I cannot set
the timing with a timing light. I did set the timing with a test light
(static) but if I increase the rpm's it will backfire through the carbs.
The rear carb chatters a lot and I can feel air pushing out of it. As far as
I know the front carb is operating ok. I am at my wits end. A lot of trial
and error with the emphasis on error. The workshop manual I have says"the
adjustment of the H.D. carburetter is extremely simple" . Maybe, but not
for me. What I need to know is if anyone knows of a site to go to get
trouble shooting tips. I may have some problems with the carbs or the
timing or whatever.
