Fwd: <VV> idle prob

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

The revised carb adjustment process using a strip of paper as a guage still 
is the best "shade tree mechanic" method I've used (though I use the Unisyn 
too).  A strip of paper is placed between the idle screw and the lever one carb 
at a time on a warmed up engine (run it for awhile and let it sit for 15 
minutes or so) and the screw is tightened until a firm drag is felt on the paper.  
If the paper tears try a new piece and tighten only till a firm drag is felt.  
This method adjusts the carbs for their individual variances.  This method is 
in the '68 & '69 Shop Manual Supplements (maybe in '67 but I don't own one).  
You don't need HEIM joints to have a smooth idle and passing punch--though 
everyone should.
