I am familiar with Datsun SUs and follow these steps to adjust and sync.
- Bottom out air/fuel needle, adjust out 2.5 turns for a baseline
- Adjust idle with idle screw on both carbs, verify equal flow
- Bring idle up to 2500, adjust linkage for equal flow
- Test drive, tweak air fuel equally
This process had served me well on a number of cars over the years
With this knowledge as my personal baseline, and not having the 72 TR6 in front of me until this weekend, I'm trying to understand the similar, simply stated steps for the Strombergs. I have read Buckeye write up 5X and I know the answers are probably right there, so here are my questions, if I were to try to follow a similar process.
- Is there a baseline # of turns for air/fuel? Where do you buy that special tool?
- idle is adjusted on the linkage? Seems like that would vary too much? Is there independent idle adjustments on the linkage for each carb?
- What does the bypass valve do?
- syncing flow at 1500 rpm as suggested is accomplished by adjusting a different point on the linkage?
Thank you in advance.
