Need Help/Info Carter W-1 carbs - 10/24/08 12:10 PM
I have been starting to fashion together a 2x1 set-up for my 292. I am straying from the typical mono-jets and opting for the more vintage look of the carter W-1.
As a result I have been collecting several W-1 carbs trying to restore the best ones to use.
Here's the thing though. I have 4 at the moment. Two of them have vertical linkages that go from the throttle shaft to the choke shaft. These ones apear to close the throttle butterfly when the throttle shaft is pushed in a direction that would indicate acceleration.
The other two I have do not have the vertical linkage, and as expected open the throttle butterfly when the throttle shaft is pushed toward acceleration.
So I'm kind of at a loss here trying to figure out why some would close while others would open with the same model carbs. I'm thinking that maybe it was a difference in thottle linkages maybe? Can anyone explain the difference to me and point me in the right direction?
