Hello All,
Well, I had the Q-doorstop-Jet adjusted as per earlier suggestions, and the choke et al are doing very well. I have one small question that I was hoping someone could answer.
When releasing the accelerator pedal at a slow to moderate rate after having used all 4 bbl of capability, and the rear of the carb closes (i.e. air valve shuts, and I assume rods drop back into resting position), the car will seem to surge slightly, or actually INCREASE slightly in revs.
Does this, in your best guess indicate a LEAN or a RICH condition? And at full throttle, or partial? In other words, am I too lean at full, thus I momentarily get "more" power when decreasing the air supply when backing off and closing the rear "barrels"? Or is there some other condition causing this slight surge?
I am just wondering whether I need to adjust primary or secondary settings, and how. Otherwise the "doorstop" has, for some strange reason, been running quite well. And this, of course, is only a minor annoyance.
