Hello All, Yesterday I spent a long icy day outside to do timing and carbs tuning. A bad day! I have mk3 68' European market, Delco distributor, HS2 carbs, vacuum advance... This config was running well last summer. the winter I changed contact breaker points, condenser.... Valves clearances are ok, I set 6 degrees BTDC as the manual describes. And I can't get an even idle. Even with hot engine the idle is very uneven and can't be lowered below 1000rpm, even with fully closed throttles. My questions would be:
Is that a timing or a carb issue? Could a faulty vacuum advance be the cause? How to check if good? Could I adjust anything on the vacuum advance? I have checked timing only with light, not with stroboscope. Could a difference of +/- 1-2 degree makes theese kind of problems? any other suggestion for troubleshooting? thanks peter ps. carbs overhauled, seems ok, centered jets... /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
