Stromberg 97 float setting
I've a stromberg 97 on my car. Have had it rebuilt by Max a couple years ago.
Have read where the gas in the bowl should be 15/32" +/- 1/32" Also I notice the engine sits in the chassis with a bit of a slant down to the rear. The intake manifold doesn't seem to compensate for this slant. The carburetor also slants. It's not level. Looks to be around an 1/8" in 3" of a slant. How much slant should there be? Perhaps my front engine rubber mounts are too thick.They were there since I purchased the car. How thick are originals? If the carburetor isn't level and I keep the gas level set to 15/32" +/- wouldn't it be too high in the emulsion tube at the point it's in the venturi? Making it tough to get a proper idle set. I realize lowering the fuel level will compensate for where it should be. I'm curious if any other members have noticed this and what they've done. |
