Carbin' at Lars'.......

For all you C3ers who have sent Lars some "interesting" (aka: gum-city") Q-Jets and other name brand carbs, here is where some of them go right out of the box....... :D :rolleyes:

It seems like a good start for the last 3 I received out of the box. I need to send some of mine to Lars for his expertise. It nice to have somebody around who knows how to tune carbs and distributors. :yesnod:

That's Forum member Jim Shea's carb in the basket, and a Foster's beer on the floor. Carb cleaner and beer makes a great combo...!

Re: Carbin' at Lars'....... (lars)

hey lars, what does it mean when your car is idleing, you give it gas and it stalls? Then comes back. but stalls again when given gas until about a min or two. then it bogs till it gets over 1500

Could mean your pump shooters are too small and you're too lean at the transition.
