[Fot] Fwd: Engine races

[Steven Belfer]

On my racing TR3, I have a fairly stout secondary carb linkage return spring.  It ensures that the carbs always get pulled back to zero

This has happened before and we've done some things,  added a vacuum line, lubricated the linkage as we thought that the throttle was sticking, check the idle screw thinking it loosened(SU's).  I fired it back up and the racing stopped but the idle now was at 2300rpm.  We had it set to 1100rpm.  Drove it home, parked it and had a couple of pints!
