308 Carb folks assistance

1-Have you checked to see if the Distrib advance is sticking?

2-Last Jan. is a very long time for carbs to go untweeked - have you pulled the AC and balanced & set all the carbs recently?

Carbed 308's need a full Minor Service/Tune-Up at least once a year if not more often in my experience. Timing, Points checked, Carbs Checked and set, plugs, liquids changed.

Dist runs up fine looking at t

Dist runs up fine looking at the advance on the FW as I rev the engine. Don't know about the bal. yet so I'll have to check them. When I adjusted last they were all in sync. I have no points (use dual Pertronix's setup) and the plugs have about 1000 miles on them.Wires are 2 years old and fluids (oil/water) have just been changed. I need to pull the AC housing off to check linkage and acc. cable but if I do that I need to remove the engine cover. If I do that then I'll be taking it down for the winter. This is like putting my golf clubs in the basement and I hate to do that also. Oh well , Happy New Year

One thing I found in a '79

One thing I found in a '79 308 was there was evidentally a groove worn into the throttle cable houseing, causeing it to idle high if the cable was out of it's "groove". You may want to check that as it too me a while to figure it out.
