Basically it indicates that the fuel to air mixture is way too lean with the choke in the normal running position. First thing I'd do is check for air leaks around the manifold gaskets. With the car idling, as best as it can, spray some carb cleaner or starting fluid around the manifold gaskets, both at the head to manifold and carb to manifold joints. If the speed of the idle changes when you spray, there's a leak. Also check the area where the throttle shafts run in the carb body. It may also be a fuel restriction like bad float level, dirty needle or such. Since it does run with the choke chances are good you are getting sufficient fuel into the carb, the issue is getting sufficient fuel out of the carb. mjb.

My questions are: what do I look > for, and what's it worth? That sounds like a reasonable price for a decent car. What to look for? First question, it is beautiful, a daily driver, or a klunker? That dictates what you will need to "fix" or improve. If you're buying it because it looks gorgeous but it has a ratty seats or a rust hole in a rocker, then the good looks are superficial and incomplete. Ratty seats in a car you intend to drive rather than show aren't so bad, and are replaceable or repairable. Check for rust in the rocker panels, the panels behind the front wheels, the floors, and the rear fenders. Check the solidity of where the rear trailing arms attach to the frame. If you can see the frame, look for any rust spots. Some things can be fixed or replaced but may cost money. Are the seams between cowl and bonnet even and straight or has the bonnet frame been sprung? Does the gearbox shift smoothly, especially when warm? Is paint missing under the clutch and brake master cylinders? This would indicate leaks where brake fluif has trashed the paint, not a fatal flaw but something you'd want to clean up and repaint. Check under the battery for rust. Does the engine start up easily and run strong? Does it blow blue or white smoke? If it has overdrive, does it engage and disengage promptly? Suspension issues are trickier. Service records or a reasonable sense that the owner lubricated the front would be nice. Grab each front wheel at the top and try to shake it in and out. If you feel play it may need new ball joints or a bearing adjustment. Grab each wheel at front and rear edge and try to twist it in and out. If you feel play it may need new tie rod ends. These aren't unfixable but you'll need Kathy's mechanical astuteness. Check the tires for microcracks in the rubber surfaces. Check the handbrake, not for how well it holds but for how rusted and stuck in place it may be. See the brake pedal feels springy or reasonably taut. Try the clutch too.

If you're in an area that requires emissions inspections, you really want to have a car that comes unmodified as obtaining the necessary parts can be quite challenging. The list can give you details of what you should look for if that is the case. Good luck!

Does anybody have > recommendations for jet numbers for a weber dvg running in a '78 1500 engine? > Thanks for any info! > Steve Steve, Having never owned or usd a DVG, I found this article online and after careful consideration, did a copy paste for your benefit. I think the fellow is spot on in describing the application and results, and I believe this would work well for your application. Ron O. Article: I have had many requests for the carb jetting used on my stock and slightly tired '73 2002 motor since I have often waxed lyrical about the smooth operation at any RPM and the complete absence of deadspots and bog on acceleration from a stop. So here they are. Credit for these settings goes to Creighton Demarest. Primary Jets Main: 140 Air Corrector: 145 Idle: 60 Secondary Jets Main: 170 Air Corrector: 175 Idle: 55 In addition, plug the small brass high-speed enrichment orifice in the top cover of the carb since this extra, coarse fuel supply is not needed with this jetting. This mod may have solved a problem I had with clouds of black smoke on WOT. I used a carefully-sized round toothpick to plug the hole. I cut it to length so that it is held tightly in place when the top cover of the carb was secured, no epoxy or sealant is necessary. I have recently found that using 55pri/50sec idle jets works well for me and may be just a little easier on fuel consumption. Overall, I have found that fuel consumption has not increased noticeably, except perhaps from the extra "testing" of throttle response I now do. Effects on emissions compliance are unknown at this time but I doubt it is very severe and certainly not likely a problem at idle. Slighlty smaller main jets, perhaps 130 and 160, would probably bring the loaded CO back in line with minimal performance loss.

Can't remember which episode. It was sitting inside a building. Looks like they possibly drive it.

They would have frequent problems with the publisher and issues would go missing. They wouldn't communicate this until you brought it up and then would give you credit. This coupled with the mag change in focus encouraged me to drop it a few years ago. --John Henard '71 Spit _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the old busy.

TW now appears on the shelves of Chapters in Canada regularly, but that often wasn't the case. It may well be that some people buy the mag when it's a "good" issue. If you don't get there soon enough, this means that you lose out on those "good" issues. After due consideration, I concluded that I enjoyed reading the mag every month, even the less than stellar editions, and it was worth guaranteeing that I got one, hence the decision to subscribe.
