Well, I finally had it! I've had this engine since 1994 and it's been in four different cars. Dang thing won't die but it was cursed from the factory with twin down-draft Solex carbs. When it runs, it runs FANTASTIC! Of course, the sync'ing only lasts about 3 weeks so the way it works is; three weeks of "scalded dog", three weeks of,"well, it's running okay" and then followed by three weeks of," die already, you sack of *&^%"!

I've rebuilt them, planed the mating sufaces, re-threaded them, reworked the linkages twenty times, re-jetted them and every thing I could think of doing to them but it was time for them to go.

The curses!


The curses removed. Look at the trail of fuel leaks from the throttle shafts.



Check out how wet the intakes are and this is AFTER I pulled the carbs and manifolds! So figure on 45 minutes of sitting.
