Hey, I know I haven't been posting too much, but I've been busy with work and all. Nice to see things are still going on here. Well, I'd like to ask anyone with a weber, or even a stock carb, to share any tips they may have on keeping things going smooth during the winter time, I'll start off with a few I have and feel free to add on, please. :)
1.) 15-20min. warmup prior to driving it by cranking the car and letting it idle.
2.) Turn the key two notches and let the fuel pump run for a few seconds to build up some pressure before cranking (especially with webers) Maybe even give the accelerator a push or two while the pump is working. (Not so much that you flood it though)
3.) It helped me to run just a touch richer for some reason. I might have just needed the adjustment anyways, but if you're having a rough idle it might help a little, just make sure to stop backing the screw out when the rpms stop raising.
I know this information is all over the board, but in various locations. If any of you have any more advanced tips to share, such as issues concerning the manifold heating/cooling systems, that would be useful to myself, and I'm sure many others. Thanks again and happy tuning!
