[list.british-cars] Zenith-Stromberg carbs...

jatc@emx.utexas.edu (James TenCate) (02/06/90)

I have twin Zenith-Strombergs 175's on my TR7.  I've had great
luck in the past tuning those guys with a Colortune kit (got it
from TRF) and an air flow meter.  Now, however, after a long
trip, the car seems to be running pretty rough and I've had to
play with mixture on one carb more than I think is normal to get
the mixture right AND the car still seems to be running not
quite right...a friend suggested I may have an air/vacuum leak
somewhere around the carbs and I should try and see if I can
find it :-(

I need advice:  how does one go about looking for air/vacuum
leaks?  Any suggestions?

One way to look for leaks is to spray carburettor cleaner around the
various joints and fittings and listen for the rpm to go up.
