Hi all, Just found this list. looks like it's a vey active community. Other forums I have visited are quite slow.
I have a 72 250 Chassis W114 M130 engine. I am trying to get road worthy again. I have put on a rebuilt head and rebuilt the carburators. I have questions all over the place so bear with me. First off, has anybody attempted to set their timing with the enginve vacuum? Does the advance need to be connected? Do you need to keep the idle at 800 for a reading? Has anybody tried to balance their caburators with a manometer such as this one? http://www.airheads.org/old/index.php?Technical%20Tips+%244%20Carburetor%20Synchronizer or similar? If not how do you sync your carbs? I still have the dreded Zenith INAT 35/40's Does anybody know how to set the carburators idle stop screw back to a factory setting? Also some genius remved the fast idle screw. Does anybody know the size of the screw that is usualy in there? is it something I can get at home depot? Thanks George
