Now that I have the carbs pretty sorted, I decided to force myself to re-sort them. As the engine is really a 2.4, I wanted to choke and jet them like the Zeniths on the euro 2.4 Ts which instead of a 115main and a 47.5 idle, they were 120 main and 50 idle. The 2.2 stock chokes were 27.5
and the euro 2.4 were 28.5 (yeah big jump, right?)
So time to take apart a perfectly good set of carbs....
I couldn't find the parts stateside, had to buy them from Europe. But the seller had fair prices and shipped quickly. PM me if you want the contact info. The chokes ended up being closer to 28.25 vs 28.5, but no big deal. Tearing down the carbs gave me a chance to check the accelerator jets/squirters when I swapped the chokes.

And re-choked and re-jetted and closed up.
I really wanted to fire it up and begin the re-balancing of the carbs, but there is a foot of spring snow outside...and I don't want to open the garage door. Hard work is done...it can wait.

I don't know what the deal with the blue cars has been recently. The 914-6 on the rotisserie is OEM blue also. I need to get some red and orange back into my life
