Subject: Carburation Problem


Hello AT drivers,

seems that everybody has moved the AT to the garage, or the list is down ?
Very quiet these weeks !

Anyway, I had a problem with the AT that might be of interest to all of
you. The symptom was a big "hole" between 3500 and 4500 rpm while
accelerating. After disasembling the carbs, the problem was in the circuit
that makes mixture more rich. It is located on both side of each carbs and
contains a small membrane. The chamber behind the membrane were full of an
oily/sticky greenish substance. I don't know if comes from some "poluted"
fuel or if it is too much oil vapour from the engine. But cleaning the
chambers radically suppress the symptom.
