I need some carb mixture advice
I am trying to set the mixture on my Stromberg 175
CD2 carbs.
I made a high speed run down the expressway for 40 minutes
at mostly between 60 and 70 mph.To experiment on mixture settings.
Before the drive :
1. I purchased my 10th set of plus this morning, installed 2.
2. I cleaned up two sooty plugs and reinstalled
3. I left two sooty plugs in place.
Did a complete tune up on carbs and ignition plus --
Leaned out rear carb by 8 flats of a hex adjustment tool.
Leaned out front carb by six flats[/color]
Here's my plugs before and after about 40 minutes of high
speed driving, only two toll both stops and exit ramp on/off to Bikers Bar,
To the non-mechanic guy, my new plugs look a bit lean.
I am totally stunned the black plugs turned white????
