- I think so. You should remove the air cleaner(s). Loosen off the link that locks the throttle shaft of the two carbs together. I use a rubber tube of about 1/4" ID to sense the airflow. I stick one e

- I'm not an Alpine expert, but I'm pretty good on Minis and MGs and I assume it's to prevent carb icing. I use the plumbed intake manifold *and* a dashpot heater on the souped-up Cooper S, since it ic

- Coupla things: Running on, sometimes called dieseling, happens after the ignition is turned off, so the ignition system is not causing it. Preignition (pinging, pinking) during acceleration, on the o

- Very good idea. I'm going to lean the mix and go one grade up on the fuel and see what that does. Since you have the engine apart, now's the time to remove all potential "glow-plug" areas, like the s

- This is right to the point. Excellent advice. I'm not sure about Alpines, but many LBCs originally had some sort of venting to get the cold clean air to the carbs that time and GDPOs may have removed
