Default Re: tri-power problems

Jim,

If you switched to progressive linkage I think you would be happier. I would get a 5.5" power valve from Daytona in Florida, or Charlie NY on the Ford Barn. I have done these before with progressive linkage using #51 jets in the center carb with 5.5" power valve. Front and rear carbs were with blocked power valves, seated idle adj. mixture screws and 53 to 55 main jets. Also, you need to make sure the front and rear carbs have the plates closed with no or very little air getting by. If any extra airflow, the idle mixture screws on the center carb will compensate for it. Do all idle speed and mixture adjustments on the center carb only.
Worked for me. Charlie NY probably has more experience and knowledge though on 94 carbs, although I know them too.

The #56 main jets in the center carb sound too big to me.
