as you may have read. i converted to dual solex 34's. they are in synch, tuned, car is timed etc... i drive it around... love the new throaty sound comming out of the enginebay and love the increase in power and lack of hessitation and dying at idle.
problem occurs after im driving around for 20 minutes or so, cruisin on the interstate. i come up to a light, idle, go to leave it and.... the car feels like i'd lost a cylinder again or popped a plug wire.. i pull over, check em, nope... I was close to home so i just limped it home easy and barely made it up the hills with such loss of power.
i remove the engine lid and watch it idle for a minute, throttle it. The passanger carb was a lot louder then the driver side. so i figure ive got a problem over there.... wrong.
as it turns out the drivers side is quieter :) - my linkage popped off it and it was not opening with the other side. i had a 2 cylinder.
Here is the problem. this is a brand new setup and these little suckers are pretty loose, how do i keep this from happening againe. I was thinking of drilling a tiny hole with my dremel through the base of the balled stud and safety wiring it all snug. this would require precise drilling while the carbs are on the car. aka, pain in the ass. simpler way please? anyone else have loose linkage problems?
