[NoVa-Corvairs] July meeting

[daniel@danielgoldberg.net]

Thanks to all who helped out with the installation of the machined carburetor linkage kit I purchased.  Although it wasn't exactly plug and play, now that it's on it works pretty
well. It's evident that my carburetors are pretty worn out.  Back in 2005 when I got the car roadworthy again, I cleaned and resealed the carbs, but I didn't do anything past that.
 Even with the new linkage, the primaries still get hung up at idle because the choke plates refuse to close all the way (unless I manipulate the cross shaft by hand).  On the secondary we removed during the tech session, the shaft for the choke plate was wiggling around; as for the other,
gas dribbles into the bowl even when the car isn't running.  I have two pairs of rebuilt primary carburetors I believe I obtained from L.D. before he moved from the area in the mid 2000s.
 One set has a note that says they faltered when installed, but the others seem like they were pretty thoroughly rebuilt from all outward appearances (moreover, no note).  I have no idea what year these carbs are, but again, from all outward appearances they certainly *okay* and don't have
any play.  L.D., if in fact I obtained these carbs from you and you recall the history, please chime in.  If I have the time I will install them this week.As for the secondaries, I may
purchase rebuilt replacements unless someone has a better idea.  Again, lots of wiggle.daniel
