Title: First look
Post by: RazorbackNOR on November 05, 2008, 11:02:19 am

Here is a first look at the goodies...

Seems rather oxidated, so vil try to have a go at the parts with Autosol and some steelwool.

I would avoid steel wool on the carbs and only use a small brass brush. WD40 is great for cleaning old aluminium parts - kind to the metal and able to penetrate the smallest parts. Also useful for cleaning out channels in the carburettor body. Also, I suggest you screw out all jets before cleaning the body. The float chamber should also be emptied and cleaned.

There seems to be a stone caught in the secondary venturi! Good that it didn't make it into the engine...

There seems to be a bug in the blog software so attachments don't show properly, except in certain conditions. I'll chat with Lennart about it... we might be able to find a solution. Until then, I'm afraid you'll have to avoid posting messages with attachments in the blogs section.

Just keep posting pictures (nice carbs, by the way!) , - at some point I will find the bug in the forum extension - the pictures *are* there, and as Anders experienced, they turn up when you change into normal forum-board view. (which you do when replying etc)

The blogging extension is very minimalistic, and the blogs are really implemented as standard forum posts, - in hidden foldes in the "General Matra Related" section.

This is a direct link to Razorback's carb Blog as a forum thread:
   http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/index.php/board,29.0.html

I will keep searching for the error - I have already found some interesting blog-related errors in the forum log that I will track.
