I cant seem to get it all together with the new carb setup.

Not really getting my zen on with these solex carbs. Can anyone nearby help this saturday? I can drive it is just a pain, feathering the gas and such.

Drove to work today Very Happy

Found out a few things,

Idle is a little high (based on my ear rpm gauge)
Brakes are a tad tight
and 1/4 tank on the gauge means empty

Yeah my 71 has that same gas gauge, wonder if that was a dealer supplied option or came that way from the factory? Wink

So did you figure out your brakes are to tight from pushing it to work after you ran out of gas? Laughing
