I emailed this a second ago but forgot to put a subject line in the
email, so I'm not sure if it went through the first time. If it did,
my apologies.
Originally I had a problem with the engine rpms on the old man's TR6
gradually increasing as the car sat idling, but after doing a rebuild
of the carbs, that problem was taken care off. But now I have a new
problem.
When coasting or braking after accelerating, the engine rpms are
dropping back down very, very slowly - slower than they should. For
example, if the engine is running at 850 rpms and you hit the throttle
(either driving or just sitting still), taking the engine up to say
2000 rpms, instead of quickly dropping back down to 850, it instead
slowly slides down, taking 4 to 6 seconds to drop back down to 850
rpm.
Could it be a problem with the air valve in the carb not dropping down
fast enough? Too thick damper oil? (using 10W40 right now, but am
going to switch to 3 in 1 oil as mentioned in Nelson Riedel's
article).
Thanks.
