<DIV>Background: My 74 TR6 is set up with Goode's triple carbs. This
winter I made some modifications to the engine to include shaving the head, new
harmonic damper in the front, roller rockers, electronic ignition and a
header exhaust. I did not do anything to the carbs. I did the triple
carbs a couple of years ago and the car ran great. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Current problem: So with everything put back together, the car
started, but I could not get it to idle or run constantly. I started
checking everything. The ignition checked out with the timing easily
set. With the engine modification, I checked the compression and that was
perfect. So I started checking the carbs. It finally came down to
the front carb vent for the float chamber. If I disconnected the hose
front the front carb, the idle was easily set and the car idled great.
Disconnecting the other two hose had no effect. When I disconnected the
hose and held my finger over the hose, the idle goes to carp. I
disconnected the hose at the canister and plug the canister and the idle was
fine. So I plugged the entire vent hose for all three carbs and the idle
is fine. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now the question. Sorry for the long email. Why would one cab
hose cause all my idle problems and it is not the carb but the hose to the
canister? I check the hose to make sure it wasn't block for the other
carbs and it wasn't. I know the prior to 74, the carbs didn't even have
the float chamber vent. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anybody have any theories???</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>
