Hi,
I'm putting a set of DCOE 40's on my TR6. I should say I have put a set
on the car. At any rate, yesterday I took the car for a spin (sans
muffler) around the block to check things out.
At any rate, I seemed to have a problem doing hill starts. The engine
acted as if it was starving for fuel. A few times, the engine just plain
quit, a few times I was able to keep it running by applying throttle and
a little choke.
It ran great if I kept the revs above 3500, but it would not pull on its
own below that.
It idles fine, right at 950 or 1000 rpms.
What I'm looking for is collective wisdom here. I would like to see what
tubes and stuff folks are using on their TR6's. It turns out that the only
documentation that I have right now is the Passinni book, and although I
have been flipping through it for a few days now, I have yet to connect
any information in the book to my application. If you have experience
with Webers and TR6's, I'd like to hear from you.
Note: I have a stock TR6 "federal version", 1974 engine. I do not have a
cam or anything.
thanks in advance.

P.S. FWIW, the thing goes great in the 4000-6000 range. Lots of pull up
there! But it is extremely loud without any mufflers!
