Hey ho...up here in Canada it's getting cold out..my 1969 142s with dual SU's is running fine now, but everyone seems to mumble "better get those carbs set for winter!", so I'm asking now.

I'm quite mechanical, have the Volvo green manual and ain't afraid to try it out. What do they do to winter set carbs!!?? set them a little richer at startup?

I'm a 740 LH 2.2 graduate, but I couldn't pass up a car that was owned by a semi-looney University professor for 29 years, that comes with a stack of maintenence records, polishings, auto trans replacement, seat re-upholsturing and the like for just under $30,000 CAN over 30 years.

The car was bought for $4550 CAN in 70'and was appraised by the someone in 97' for ......you guessed it, $4550 CAN!

I hear they're EXCELLENT winter cars with their skinny wheelbase, good heaters. The 740T just might get parked for the chilly part.

Thanks in advance about the carbs..... Josh
