[Mg-t] So much for Tuesday.

[Bob Grunau]

Check that the front damper that screws into the top of the suction chamber
is complete with the loose brass on the end and a weird clip holding it.
Sometimes the clip breaks, so allowing the piston to move without the brass
and no hydraulic damping action.

Hi Mark,
   If there is oil in the damper and the front carb has been rebuilt, its
piston should not bounce of its own accord. Since the piston rises and drops
because of the air flow, I would check compression on cylinders 1 and 2 as a
rough check that they are sucking air equally.

Meant to get down to Bailey's today, never made it.  Mike won't be happy
about that.

There's a TC down there that is being a problem child.  Runs rough, sputters
and stumbles, has no power.
Monday I cleaned up the rear carb.  No real difference.  What I did notice
was when holding the throttle open to about 2 - 2,500 rpm the piston in the
rear carb was steady as a rock.
The one in the front,
which the owner rebuilt not that long ago, bounces up and down in time to
the rough running.

We'll see if I can make any progress based on that.  Cars can be such fun.
