Subject:Carb problem solved
From:Malcolm Stebbins

I asked the list about a problem with my carb'ed van
stumbling except when the second barrel opened up.
After chasing the timing and dwell and plugs and  plug
wires, the problem was ...............

The gasket that is between the intake manifold and the
head, was missligned and air was getting in -
therefore bypassing the carb so there was little gas
getting to the cylinder.  It smoothed out when the 2nd
barrel opened proving a richer mixture.  I just used
some form-a-gasket to try and seal it up better.

FWIW I'm still waiting for a guy to fabrecate an
adapter plate for my NEW Weber (DVEV) and VW intake
manifold from a 1.9 European carb'ed van.   M
