Well folks, the GT6 failed emmissions again here in Colorado. What would make it passable (under 1000 hydrocarbons) at 2500 rpms, and fail at idle (923ish rpms)? I changed the spark plugs, and oil, a

Jane, It sounds like the carbs are set too rich at idle. When you push in on it the engine uses the extra fuel and thus has less hydrocarbons coming through the exhaust. At least, hope that is the ca

Thanks Joe, I'll check into that. Sure hope we pass a law like Calif and Washington soon. I can get a waiver after spending $75 on parts(that's certainly easy to do) so I may have to go that route b

After leaning the !@%^$# out of the carb didn't do the trick, I finally added some fuel additive/cleaner type stuff to get mine to pass. Mike (Denver) 79 Spit

High hydrocarbons and low CO are due to a lean mixture and not a rich one. I know that because I got my TR6 through by pulling out the choke a tad.Co went up, HC came down

I don't know how that would work, When I pull out my choke, I can see the carbon coming out the exhaust. Joe Curry '63 Spit

Wish I had thought of that except that they don't let you drive your own car. I did learn the trick about twisting the knob to make it stay out from the list. Thanks, Jane

Joe, note I said a tad (thats two tenths of bugger all in plain English). Enough to increase RPM by about 50.Obviously you can overdo it, but high emissions are due to incomplete combustion, which ca

Thanks, I'll give that a try too. I have until the end of next month to get this figured out. I will have to leave it in the garage today & tomorrow if it snows, maybe on Wed, I can work on it. Jane

If you hunt in the yellow pages for performance parts stores call them and ask if they sell racing fuel. If you run your tank down and put a few gallons in it should pass. The place I bought fuel in
