Good Morning All,

Can someone point me to any TriPower carb gurus in Northeast PA or surrounding area?

I am capable of tackling most jobs on my own but carbs are a different animal.

I'm getting a tiny bit of hesitation from a stop and run on from time to time when I shut it down.

I would love to find someone who'd be willing to troubleshoot it and fix it with me looking over their shoulder.

Thanks,

Garrett

"Run on" is usually caused by an idle speed that is a bit too high combined with a rich mixture. Bring it to my place in Dunlap California and I'll be glad to fix it while you watch.

Thanks for the offer but Cali is a long way from Northeast PA

Have you contacted any local Corvette clubs for recommendations ?
What is the idle speed when fully warmed up?
With the engine off looking down into the center carburetor, do you see a shot of gas coming out of the squirter when you move the throttle?
