Hi all.
I just got my mechanic who sevices my other car to change my oil etc on my 33, he reckons the carbies are overfueling and not running properly with alot of carbon build up in the air filter box. (My mechanic doesnt want to fiddle around with the twin carbies.) Sometimes when idling even when the engine is warm the revs will die off and stall. I have also noticed a little bit of fuel or oil that must drip down from the carbies onto the cams in the engine bay, its not alot just a little that builds up over time. Over a year ago when i took the car to ciliberties for a service they said to stop that the carbies would need to be overhauled but its nothing really to worry about.
The car smells very rich but i think this is normal? The car generally doesnt idle well, she idles to low.
When driving the carbies run well with no hicups.
I was just wondering what everybody thought on this, if my carbies need a good tune up or overhauled? Does anyone know the cost of an overhaul? Does anyone know a good place for a tune up in Perth, i live in Mandurah.
Cheers!
