[TR] tr3 CARBURATION

[wbeech at flash.net]

Frank,
I had a similar problem after I spent the $100 on the re-build kits.  It
seems the jets were not sliding back into the fully up position after
releasing the "Choke" cable.  I pulled the jets, cleaned them good using
some 4x steel wool and re-installed and re-centered, all seems to be much
better now.  This could very well be your issue after to extend period on
the shelf.

Right now I am in process of adjusting them to a leaner mixture but I find
this pretty tedious.(Can anyone suggest a better way??)  
1.Clean the plugs
2.Go for a long drive
3.Pull the plugs and check the color.

before i spend a bunch on a carb rebuild kit that maybe i don't need, id
like to hear any ones thoughts on my problem.
carbs where working good when i put the car into restoration 4 years ago.
took them out of storage, cleaned them up, cleaned out the bowls and put
them on the car.
now they are running way rich. with the adjustment screw tightened all the
way they are still way rich.
any thoughts?
thanks
