The problem with the dual cars that people are complaining about is that very few people realy know how to work on them. I recently got my lesson from my guru who swears by and drives them. The first thing is there are always parts missing balance tubes ect. Once you have all the correct parts then you have to make sure each carb is adjusted properly, then you have to balance the two together on a running engine. at stone cold for the choke then hot for idle and do it again for every season. Give me the simplicity of fuel injection. Jim Morgan 86GL "Breadbox" 205,000.0 Westlake,Ohio |
