Subject : Re: carb synch question
" Why does the rear
carb have a seperate nipple?  Using this nipple, while leaving the
other pressure sensor line still on, introduces a massive vacuum leak
since the front carb's pressure sensor line has been pulled.
Why, if you have to block off the line, do they even put the separate
nipple on the rear carb?"



All very good questions...if we could answer them, we'd be able to solve
ALL the world's problems!  Seriously, I never really understood the factory
vacuum hose setup.  They must have had some reason, I guess.  With my AIS
removal and '85 carbs which have no coasting enricher, I simply did the
"tee" thing to the pressure sensor (vacuum advance).
