Notch you have to start it with the throttle wide open<br>
And then quickly let up so you don’t rev it.<br>
<br>
Until I got to the Bank<br>
<br>
Last year, the one spot it refused to restart hot was the Bank, and this<br>
morning in the same drive in lane it didn’t want to start eather! After<br>
some<br>
Cranking and a backfire that probably had everyone in the bank hit the floor<br>
it lit, and of course started fine after that.<br>
<br>
Got home, found that one of the spark plug recepticles was wide open… (it<br>
wasn’t last fall) and that sure could do it, also found the coil wire was<br>
open but<br>
That was only a bad connection between the wire and the spike on the<br>
connector, not a problem currently. Tried it, better, but still bad.<br>
<br>
Changed the plugs, still not any better but the old plugs were as clean and<br>
white as a vanilla shake, so its not been running rich anyway…<br>
So I opened up the air volume screws another half to ¾ turn from where the<br>
sync procedure suggested they be, THAT helped!<br>
(I TRIED not to blame the carbs!)<br>
<br>
Its much smoother now, the idle is smooth, but its still not “Fuel injection<br>
smooth” (sorry, had to get that in there)<br>
It feels like it has a slight intermittent miss under light to moderate<br>
throttle and opening the air jets up any farther doesn’t help. I do notice<br>
this on the Notchback too<br>
Sometimes… almost like its hunting and pecking for a happy spot when<br>
cruising along.<br>
<br>
So how much do those air volume jets control the mixture over the whole<br>
curve? I had always thought they were mainly for idle mixture.<br>
