Good luck, Bob Bader

I was in the middle of testing the carbs when the timing gear broke. The Tillotson was not working right when driving around before and after. I left it on and was able to start the engine but driving the car around was problematic. So I switched to the Zenith carbs to see if that made a difference. It did not, if anything it made things worse. I switched back to the Tillotson, and the car does not start even with that one on. So.... I don't think the issue are the carbs or fuel flow because none of them worked (unless they are all bad).
