The reason I mention fuel pressure is that the Webers don't seem to like
much in the way of pressure. I run 2 psi. Seems like much
higher than that and the float doesn't stop the fuel from going into the
float bowl.<br><br>
If you've got a pressure regulator that's providing varying pressure you
could see richness when it goes over the limit of the carbs.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Many thanks to all who
responded. I should have mentioned that the engine runs like gang
busters then spits at apparently random times (irrespective of
throttle). I did receive some great ideas, tnx. The points
are new (replaced the XR3000 as a test), all grounds are common at the
starter and the valves are all set to spec. TDC is bang on and cam timed
properly (I was really AR about that!).<br><br>
I'm going to pull the header and install 2 O2 sensor bungs.Â
Installing the AFR sensor in the collector was a mistake (I assumed both
carbs would be the same, but now I need to determine if one of 'em is a
problem). Then I'll start implementing the suggestions.<br><br>
Tnx again to everyone who responded. I will post the results when
it's running as intended.<br><br>

<dd>My TR4 spits thru the 40DCOEs at idle and speed. Timing is set
to 32 degrees at 3K RPM, so idle is about 12 degrees. I thought
that spitting thru the carbs meant too much advance, but I believe timing
is ok.<br>
<dd>The AFR (sensor is in the 4-1 collector - bad idea) at idle jumps
between 13.8 and 15.3 (seems like an enormous swing!). Spitting
doesn't seem to coincide with any specific AFR. The carbs have
been synched, etc. Â 34 chokes, 50F9 idle jets, mains are 120 with 200
air correctors. The mains seem awfully small. Even so, the
AFR at speed is 12.8-13.5. Plugs are NGK BP6HS, which are sooty;
the ground lug burns clean about half way.<br>
<dd>What am I doing wrong??? I'm at the end of my wit (you're
right Craig, it's a very short walk)<br>
