Keep in mind that when balancing the carbs it is imperative to disconnect them
from each other. It is possible to balance them by the sound each of them makes
but this is crude and usually not very accurate. The best way is to use a flow
meter. I purchased the SU kit from Moss along with the flow meter and it works
great. Well worth the few bucks it costs. Balancing and tuning the carbs is a
snap if you follow the step by step instructions.
Good luck

Subject: NEW, SU stuff (used to be SU damping)
Peter is correct in saying that the the front one is ALWAYS lower, even if
I sustain high rpm's, it still is lower. I think I will check the damper
springs and for vacuum leaks because the idle adustment screws (on the top
that restrict how low the throttle can go) do not help. I have turn the
screw all the way in on the carb that is not going up as high, and backed
the other one all the way out, with NO chang in the difference between the
two.
To answer the other question peter had, this is an old problem never
remedied in the year I've owned the car. of course, it hasn't been
lisenced since before 1985!!!
If someone needs more info to help me, please ask! I'm going to go outside
on this gorgeous day and try the suggestions I recieved!!
