TR6 Temperature Compensators

[PDIGIO_6x3]

Hello All.
A few weeks ago I installed a third ZS carburetor on my '72 Tr6. There were many problems, especially with the alignment of the three throttle shafts. Mostly caused by the isolator spacers being un-parallel back to front. I've gotten that all fixed, along side fixing bad throttle bushings on the donor carb. But now I'm looking at a condition that seems lean after the car gets warmed up. Runs like a bat out of heck, but when she's getting hot, starts a slight miss and cough. I'm pretty sure this is most likely the temp compensators either opening early, or not synchronized between each other. If anyone has a good method to syncing these to open at the correct temp, I'd like to know. I hear they should start opening at roughly 140°F. I live in a pretty hot location. Not sure that matters or not.

They only affect the idle and probably are not the source of your problem anyway; but why don't you just close them..all of them and elimante the possibility of their interference.

Thanks poolboy. I will try that. Spark plugs definitely show a lean burn, so I’ll see what I can do with that from the dash pots

Double check for leaks in the manifold set-up. Make sure that all the diaphragms are fresh, buy more beer!!
