[Healeys] HS4 Tri-carb tuning

[warthodson at aol.com]

John,Are all 3 carb interconnecting throttle linkages disconnected during all the tuning steps? I have never seen this test before in any literature, so I have never tried the test on my tri-carb setup. I will give it a try later today & let you know what I find.If your 3 carbs all perform the same on all the other tests, I think they will perform correctly together. I am assuming you have confirmed that all 3 carbs have the same needle. Also, when you say the "piston is lifted all the way up" you are referring to lifting the piston by the pin, (approximately 1/2" pin travel), not by literally lifting the piston all the way up.Gary Hodson

I am wondering why the engine stalls when the center carb piston is lifted all the way up and the others don’t stall the engine when lifted all the way up. I sent another post with a link for that. The carbs are well synced, I used the S.U tuning kit to check the piston lift and they are spot on.  thodson at aol.com
