Re: Marvel carb Question
Quote:
The strangest thing I ever ran into with the vacuum operated power valve was during my trip home on leave from the Army. I was in western Kansas and a sandstorm suddenly came up. It was so bad I had to pull off the road and wait it out, so I slept in the front seat until morning. I was driving my Studebaker, and when I started driving again in the morning the car wouldn't go over about 35 MPH. I slowly made my way 150 miles to my uncle's house in Wichita, where I took the carb apart. I found the vacuum rod bent to the side, instead of pushing straight down on the power valve. I'll never be able to explain how that could have happened. I straightened it and the car was fine again. |
