<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s one for the technoctats:-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You may have noticed my posts about
swapping from two-shouldered to single-shouldered dashpots. I
did it because having two of one and one of the other was
irritating, not because I thought there’d be any changes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, I swapped the offending two and that
gave me three HD6s, all with one shoulder.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Car started on the choke, same as normal.
Seemingly!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, doing the garden hose in one ear
trick revealed that the rear carb, always single shouldered,
was making less intake hiss than the other recently added
pair. Easily rectified.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I took the car out this afternoon. Started
fine and ran well. But, if I eased off, the revs dropped and
the engine cut out. Also, there was quite a lot of popping and
f**ting on the overrun.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, on my return, I gave the front two
carbs about half a turn up on the slow idle screws. This,
quite small adjustment really, seemed to cure it and even to
raise the idle rather higher than I like. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Adjusted down quarter of a turn and all
seems well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Questions:- beyond the obvious – ie that
changing dashpots does make a difference after all – what is
going on? Why was there a change?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(Plainly, I swapped needles and springs
when I swapped dashpots so I’ve got all the same in the
carbs….the ones that I had all along).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas?<o:p></o:p></p>
