Re: Weber DCZ6 accelerator pumps
Kevin, How do you use the liquid gold? Diluted? If so, with what and at what stoichiometry? Do you have easy access to non-ETOH fuel? steve

Re: Weber DCZ6 accelerator pumps
Yes, Dyke, I don't write as well as I should, but I only meant to run the engine 1 second to prove the ignition/spark part of the holy triad was present, and could thus be ruled out. If the accelerator pump squirters are AWOL, no amount of ether will save the day. steve

Re: Weber DCZ6 accelerator pumps
Is there a downside to spraying ether into the carb? It would provide a quick and dirty way to divide and conquer the holy triad.
I've heard it's bad for the engine, so, it's clearly notta long term solution; only a shortcut. steve

Re: Weber DCZ6 accelerator pumps
If none of the accelerator-pumps are working, you are using non-ETOH fuel, and the accelerator pumps worked before the e-pump rebuild, you gotta be sure that what's up stream is working. I know you just had the EFP rebuilt, but I would verify that there is good fuel flow from that e-pump. I believe ...

The Vardanian Lusso
In case you just climbed out from under a rock, our own John Vardanian sold his Lusso in Monterey at the "Radius" auction of Broad Arrow. This was a STUNNING CAR and fetched what it deserved. Check out the review in "Sports Car Market" magazine. Can't recall the last time I saw that magazine give an...

Webers and ETOH
The accelerator pumps on my car are continuing to be problematic. DCNs that have been thoroughly cleaned and known to be patent, fail after just one drive....return home, try to restart the car the next day or so....no go. No or very poor "pump shot", but restarts easily with ether. Clean again, and...

Re: Bypass filters in Columbo 4 liter engines
It seems to me that Tom opined on this subject, in detail, some time ago, but I'm too lazy to go a searchin' However, here's a nicely written, and as usual, thorough piece on the subject by Dyke Ridgley (DWR46).

Re: R&R Daytona Fuse Cover Label
I shoulda known that labels, at $20 each, were not going to be of much quality. Bingo, "a day late, and a dollar short". These were thin decals w/o much substance. Look worse than the one I replaced. "Caveat Emptor". s

Re: R&R Daytona Fuse Cover Label
I used a single edge razor blade on a holder that you often see being used to R&R windshield registration and inspection stickers. A bit of elbow grease and it was off. Too lazy to go in the house for hot water or floss. Onward. thanx steve
