Say Paul,
This story brings me to my BGT:
It still has the charcoal cannister connected to the valve cover and the
HS4's.
When being cold the engine spits (backfires) sometimes in the carbs, so the
mixture is to be set a bit richer. (by the choke it can)
When having done this at the carb settings, the static revs are a bit too
low when hot and so sometimes the engine stalls in hot summerweather.
What's the best solution for this?
Cheers,
Hans
