[Healeys] Strange Problem

[Leonard Hartnett]

Alan:  If you will look in your Moss catalog for HD8 carbs, you will see 
part number 80.  This "Shaft Assembly, carb, coupling" is connected to each 
carb's shaft by parts 73 and 74.  It is, in fact, possible to have one 
butterfly opening while the other is not, or at least not in sync, if one or 
both of the couplings becomes loose.  Somewhere in the carb adjusting 
instructions, I recall that you loosen these, tune each carb independently, 
then tighten them up when everything is in balance.
