[TR] TR3A Choke Question

[Wbeech@flash.net]

Jim,
Sounds too lean, the wizards will have some great answers, but here’s what I would do after re-checking the timing and advance.

1. Enriched the mixture, one flat at a time, and see if that helps.  Had the same effect has the choke being slightly pulled out.  

1a. Check plugs, are they black?   If so then too rich and you turned out too many flats. 

2. What oil are you using in the dashpots?  SU recommends 20 weight. 

3. Disconnect the choke cable and see how free it moves, might be a kink somewhere.  I have always found the setup to be a bit stiff, when my arthritis kicks up I need two hands. 

Good luck,

I have finished rebuilding the carbs, new carb linkage etc.  Unfortunately
after all this tuning the carbs hesitate at first push of the pedal.  They
kind of go  huhh  then rev the engine. It's a hesitation.  Seems to be
better with choke on.   The choke cable is hard to pull out.  Takes two ands
to pull out and then twist to lock.  That's to really get the choke levers
to move both jets down.  Is this normal or maybe I need a new choke cable.
I think the resistance is in the mechanism engineering.  Any thoughts on
aither issue.  Hard choke pull or hesitation.
Thanks
