Uni-Syns don't work all that well, anyhow. They put too much load on the carb being measured so you have to be quick. These guys ...   05-26-2024 08:22 pm

I'm a bit late to this thread, but I also tried Grosse jets and had problems. They sounded like a superior design, but did not ...   05-17-2024 05:18 am

Not sure if the mounting assembly needs to be replaced. What sort of condition is it in? It looks like it may have some rubber ...   09-11-2023 03:08 am

Did you also remove the mounting to crossmember bolts (#4 on the pic)? if so, then it is likely, that the crossmember is just being ...   09-10-2023 07:27 pm

I am very surprised that a 912 engine idles well at 550 RPM, but do not see any particular problem with it. Have you ...   08-15-2022 01:30 am

I also got a Gustafsen starter from Dave Bean. Been happy with it so far. It IS possible to install it rotated enough ...   01-03-2022 11:07 pm

Not sure if this helps, but many years ago I found some replacement aftermarket wheel bolts that worked. (See comparison pic). I measure ...   11-29-2021 02:08 am

Not a chance unless you can come up with some way to jack up the engine. I jacked up my car and took a ...   11-08-2021 10:26 pm

There is an adjustment screw in the stock tachometer accessible via a hole in the back of the case. These guys tend to age and ...   06-21-2021 10:54 pm

Idling is where everything tends to be most finicky: timing air-fuel ratio, etc. According to my manual, idle or static timing for Strombergs is ...   05-10-2021 03:31 am

Additional thoughts: Not enough current activating the solenoid could also be a problem. Low current might keep the solenoid contacts from making good strong ...   04-25-2021 08:18 pm

Those batteries should have plenty of cranking power unless they are bad. Unlikely for a new battery. If you can get another car ...   04-25-2021 05:23 am

Coolant can also get into the interior if one or both of the hoses going to the heater are cracked or loose where they connect ...   03-23-2021 12:26 am

Both Tim and "Distributorguy" have good points, except for the "load of crap" part. IF everything in the HV circuit is good and the timing ...   03-13-2021 03:32 am

The official build date was 12/31/1974 though I doubt it was actually built then. Back when I bought it 35+ years ago, all the ...   08-31-2020 06:39 am

I would definitely replace the TR6 needle. I doubt either of the needles are the main problem, but the JH engine was a major ...   08-14-2020 01:19 am

What to buy at this point depends on how much of a hurry you are in and what kind of shape the carbs are in. ...   08-13-2020 06:20 am

If the car was running OK and you did not smell any gasoline when running, my guess is that the leak is small, possibly leaky ...   08-12-2020 09:19 pm

The quickest way to solve the fuel pressure question is to install a pressure regulator close to the carbs that has a readout dial. ...   08-12-2020 09:10 pm

When you switch the needle and damper assembly do you also switch the spring? I think the springs for a TR6 are significantly softer ...   08-12-2020 09:02 pm

The first thing I would check is the fuel pressure at the carbs. This should be less than 3.5 PSI. More than this ...   08-12-2020 07:48 am
