Eeah... Yes. Sage information as usual.

I'll accept your explanation for the form and function of the dampers. Nice to know and easy to reassemble - funny that it function wasn't covered very well in my SU carb manuals... My air filters have been off for over a month as I was tracking down a new return throttle spring for #1.

However, you missed a *crucial* bit of info in my post. This problem was occurring BEFORE I put molasses in there and removed the damper assemblies. It is actually responding better right now...

So, what WAS causing a lack on enrichment when I had everything stock?
Too lean a mix? When I richen it I get crappy mileage (<15) and the car diesels on shutdown - that usually means way too rich.

Thanks for the info.
