<VV> Help - Engine runs worse than before!

[wfcc at mediacombb.net]

B"H,
 Contact Grant Young for Carbs, I think he has a sale going on now. You take his carbs out of the box, install them , and don't worry about them for years to come. I have a set on my '66 AC corsa 140 and my 68 UltraVan.

Thanks for your response Harry.  I also checked coil resistance...about 1 ohm primary, and no response from the meter on the secondary winding.  Which means there is no electrical connection at all.  Could that be a problem?  Should the engine run at all?

Isn't there supposed to be some resistance on the meter with the secondary winding?

Wish I had a second set of carbs but I don't.  I just may end up getting a rebuilt set.

Thanks again...Bill 66 Monza 110 PG
