Erco - aren't you in the SCC club in Torrance, CA? There are a few 140 experts in that club.erco wrote: ↑Fri Jun 26, 2020 7:38 am That's an impressive stable of 140s, Dave! Sounds like you're the guy to ask about my secondaries. My '67 has sat for 20 years and I'm getting her going again. Haven't touched the secondaries yet, can't remember much, except that the joker before me bored the venturis oversize (per "How to Hot Rod Corvair Engines" and he did a halfass job "streamlining" (grinding down) the venturi clusters. That dork holed thru in a few spots and patched with epoxy, so I replaced those with stock clusters.
According to other posts here, secondaries are different from primaries, they should not have accelerator pumps or power enrichment circuits. Can't remember if mine have power enrichment. In the past, I have put the accelerator pumps in. So...
1) If they have power enrichment, should I block it off? Epoxy in a BB?
2) Just leave out the accelerator pump and check valve?
3) Should I toss these bored-out units and get stock carbs?
4) Is there a preferred way to keep the secondaries CLOSED so the car idles properly? They are a PITA, I've been tempted to add a spring previously. At various times I have just blocked them off with an aluminum plate under the secondaries. Useful for making sure the primaries are dialed in and working properly, at the expense of full power.
Thanks in advance, all comments appreciated.
