Merry Christmas All: Got my sisters 64 Red 1800 S back in the garage for some find tunning :
Seems her linkage had worked loose on the weber. She is running a 32-36 dgv 5a weber kit. The linkage rod at the bulkhead rotation fiting is warn badly, is this available ?
I did a rebuild and kit on the carb and all seems normal but I have some questions about jet sizing and timeing.
She is running Pirmaries Air-185 Main fuel 140 and secondaries air-180 and fuel 135 doese this sound right and what BTDC should the timeing be set for this carb. Weber talks about 14 or more btdc for their carbs ????
Would appreciate some comparisons, anyone else familiar with this set up.
She has the crane electronic ignition set so the spark is good. This crane 700 unit really works well, but I think the 3000 would be a better choice :)
She is putten out some smoke when reved, I believe this is the valve seals as the compression seems to good for bad rings and she had a rebuild not to long ago. What is considered good compression on these B18's ?
Well enough for now, really glad this page is here ,,,,I would like to make this baby purr again, she seems to be a little rough around the edges :)
Thanks
