Today I replaced my 32DATRA with a 34DMTR and am having trouble setting idle and mixture...
SteveC advises to adjust idle speed via the idle air bypass screw and not to touch the throttle stop screw.
After getting the car started, I could not get it to idle at all. Only way I could do so was to screw in the forbidden throttle stop screw. Now it idles, but jiggering both the idle air bypass and/or mixture screw through their entire range appear to have no effect at all.
On the road, I can feel some potential for increased performance, but acceleration is really jerky, head-wobbling stuff, particularly when under load - like up hill.
(Car ran OK up until carb swap)
Any clues?
Regards,
Brian
