[TR] 61 TR3A SU H6 Carb Issues

[Jim Henningsen]

Thanks. As an update to my 61 TR3A carb woes.  I started reviewing other areas that might be causing backfiring and rough running.  I changed my spark plugs and voila.  Problem fixed.  Somehow in the time the car was o ffline while I was rebuilding carbs and working on other systems, one went bad.  Go figure.  Finishing hooking up all systems and fine tuning the carbs.  Thanks everyone for their assistance.

pull out your oil damper psitons... the rods wedge down in the top of the pistons...pointed at each other.
when you throttle up you can easily see if the pistons are reacting together.


SLOW throttle changes are the key here... no damping means no enrichment on cracking the throttle open.

I just got one of those kits.  How do you use the rods? I didn’t find a YouTube clip.  Thanks,
