Help 94 Carbs
Engine 8AB two 94 carbs. On offenhauser manifold with offenhauser heads. Lumpy Camshaft
Carbs have been built before. A long time ago. by unknown, One carb has been blocked with lead under the squirters. Should I remove the lead and make the accel. pump operation? Some one went to a lot of trouble to stop the accelerator pump from working. Not sure what to do. Wally @ Bubbas |

Re: Help 94 Carbs
You want both carbs set up and working exactly the same, along with straight linkage, IMO.

Re: Help 94 Carbs
Is it a "Regular" (carbs biased to the back) or "Super" (one carb over each group of intake ports) dual manifold? You might be able to get by with progressive linkage and different carbs on a "Regular", but not on a "Super". V8 Bob is giving you good advice. You're probably gong to have to start over, with at least rebuilt carbs and the proper linkage.

Re: Help 94 Carbs
With the lumpy cam you want to use power valves with a low enough vac. rating so they don't stay open all the time. You want the squirters all working, you can vary the amount they squirt as needed.

Re: Help 94 Carbs
Thanks for the replies. What I though was a lead plug. Was The brass needel. I had to drill part of it out. Then the drill bit caught and it came out. Carbureator back on engine and seens to be running find.

Re: Help 94 Carbs
If that's what the brass needle was, then it should be replaced as it also acts as a channel filler to avoid an air pocket, so the next time you step on the gas you will be guaranteed a shot of fuel and not air or half air/half fuel. If it runs OK without a hesitation, then maybe OK as is.
