[FC] carb tips needed

[corvanatics@corvair.org]

Keith.
Carb adjustments at first seem complicated.  I think one of the reasons why is 
because some of the adjustments don't make sense by themselves, this is why a 
understanding of the linkage, the parts, and adjustments as a whole system is 
very important.  As everyone should know, carbs that are balanced can make all 
the difference.  A member of the San Diego Corvair Club and the Coyote Corvair 
club, Ken Schifftner, is an expert at this stuff (gave a tech talk at the 
national convention about carb tuning).  He has also created some other very 
usefal tools to fine tune your carbs.  Personally I don't use the uni until 
last just to make sure, I use a vaccum gauge to get everything fine tuned.  Ken 
wrote a tech article about this and it is posted on the San Diego Corvair Club 
website.  Here is the link, oh yeah if you have any questions I would email 
him, he is a very nice person.

Remember to give the pass side carb a little (about 2 marks) more vaccum, maybe 
more if your linkage is sloppy but you can carefully rebend it to make it more 
responsive, because the drivers side always kick in a millsecond faster than 
the pass side AND the vaccum advance runs off of the pass side.
