[TR] TR4A - This Seems Odd

[TERRY SMITH]

FWIW, I fought an H6 carb issue all spring too.  Randall is right (huh, go figger).  I had the same thing, a professional rebuild.  In the end, I wound up buying a carb rebuild kit and following a YouTube video.  Eazy Peezy (peasy?  peasey?)


Happily the throttle shafts were reamed correctly, so in the end, after my rebuild, the carbs run perfectly at very nearly the initial 12 flat setting after testing and adjusting for mixture.  


I don't know about your preference, but if my carbs are on a deep end of the Bell Curve, with little adjustment left, my choice would be at a minimum to pull them apart to check if the float valve or needles are sticking. 


Good luck!
