TR3 Carburetor Adjustment UPDATE
I am part of a small group that volunteers at the California Auto Museum (Sacramento). We help maintain vehicles owned by the museum.
We are currently working on a 1957 TR3 that has been inoperative for awhile. Our current problem is rough acceleration. At speed it is smooth. However, the engine is very rough as the RPM increases.
We have replaced leaking gaskets in one of the carburetors. The points are set at 0.015". Dwell is about 30 degrees. Spark plug gap is 0.025". It has SU ACU786 carburetors. The operation of the chamber piston is smooth with the correct level of oil.
Any thoughts on what we may have missed or done wrong would be appreciated.
