Hi,
For 1 year I didn't use my car, last week I removed the carbs, inlet and outlet manifold to repaint the exhaust. Put everything in place I supposed that after one year the TR will make some difficulties to start to run, I just filled the bowls of the carbs with fuel. I injected a few from a "start pilot" can and... In a fraction of second the motor was running at high speed more than 3.000 and I jumped to shut the contact.
After 3 days of working I still have that problem, the motor will run at 2.000 - 3.000 no idle! Of course the butterflies are closed, the dash are OK with the "click sound", no "starter" position ( the jet are up ) the links to the butterflies spindle are removed ( the carbs are on their own ), the screws for the idle are almost out. If I put a palm on any carb I feel a big suction and the rev of the motor go to idle state.
I cut the contact, I look inside the carbs and the rear seems more wet ( always be careful with a "it's seems" ) you may think the needle valve is bad but I swapped the 2 valves and the "seems" is still for the rear carbs, have already lower the level in the 2 bowls ( but last year I drive and no problems with the previous level ). I have lowered the pressure of the king fuel regulator tomorrow i buy a simple little filter to by-pass it.
Any idea?
