[TR] weber carbs

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Indeed, My 79 Mustang had just sort of carb.  It is a good design.  Can't say the same for that toilet-trap manifold.  fuel will collect in the low spot until you get on the throttle when it all gets sucked into the engine all at once.

I don’t know a lot about Weber carbs, but I believe that these particular carbs are progressive choke - that is, at normal throttle openings only one choke (the smaller one) is in use.  The second choke opens only when the throttle is opened wide.  I believe this style of Weber was developed to give cars the economy of a single choke carb under normal driving conditions, with the ability to greatly increase mixture flow to the engine when additional power was needed. As such, I would think that it would be difficult to synchronize a pair of them. But, as I said up front, I know very little about Weber carbs...
