A bit of background info on the situation at hand can be had at... http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7009&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
I'm about to take off the top hat (everything disconnected, just have to unscrew it)... trying to fix an uneven, high-speed vibration that is only experienced at a "maintain speed" throttle setting - if I step on it, the vibration goes away.
The mechanic said - your venturis are lose, vibrating -tighten them up and you're golden. So I've tightened the primary (easy to access one), which was a bit lose and no help. Now I'm trying to get to the secondary by taking off the top hat. However, I just felt it with my finger (through the square choke plate opening), and it does not seem to be lose at all. But I"m already there, so I think I"ll take the top hat off, replace the gasket at least...
So the question is:
Are there any other things that I can do to the carb while I've the top hat off that might make my car run better/get rid of the problem? I've all the gaskets, but not sure how many I can replace. I don't want to get in over my head, most of all. :)
Thanks!
