Re: Carb Cough and fart
I refrained from posting when I first saw this post this morning, but I suspected a too lean condition. I read the thread listed in the above post and indeed, there are a few lean condition theorists, too.
You didn't mention if you had tried a little richer GAV setting...a little more open, in other words. You might try opening the GAV about another 1/4 turn and see if that addresses your issue. If not, then I'd suspect an air leak somewhere around the carb-to-manifold joint, or around the manifold gasket...both of these will cause a lean condition. If you suspect that...with the engine warmed and idling, try squirting some WD40 around the joints between the carb/manifold and manifold/head. If you get any change in your idle speed...then there's your leak. If no change in idle, then it's something else. Hope this helps...let us know what you find...

Re: Carb Cough and fart
somewhere I read recently that the latest WD40 isn't flammable, so won't work for this test .....

Re: Carb Cough and fart
Hell, Ken...I've had a can of WD40 for the last 12 years. I've used it to start balky-starting lawnmowers, a Jaguar 4.2l, and at least two big block V8 Fords after rebuilds. The new stuff may not be flammable, but this can I've got sure as hell is...!
But...that got me to thinking (boy...THAT'S dangerous)...think I'll buy a new can on the way home and test it myself. I would imagine the propellant has changed...maybe that's what was flammable, I dunno. I'll employ the ol' "TBFO" method of research... Tell By Finding Out
