Okay folks...

Let's say my carbs are toast... false air at the throttle shafts too lean a mixture, jets sticking- timing way off causing overheating... what's the worst I could be looking at?

I've been reading some posts on brit boards that mention ruined pistons, valves and bearings?

I've just sent the carbs out for a rebuild so I want to know what to look for before I get them back. sadly I must say its been a year since I adjusted the valves. But I'm optimistic. The Volvos have never let me down in the end.

Cheers,

greendread
