    I took the carb completely apart. Jets were clean and all passages open. I re-assembled and set the float according to the book. I put it back on the car and tested it. It idled fine, accelerated fine and when I got up to speed it stuttered like Mel Tillis. I need to put on some long touring...

    Marvel carb Question

    I have read good things about Marvel carbs recently and decided to find one and try it out. I found one in really good condition with a tag on it that said "ready for installation". I put it on and it idles good and starts good but pulsates at running speed. What causes a carb to pulsate?

    Vacuum wiper control stuck

    Last week on a cruise it rained and my wiper worked fine until I turned it off. Now when I try to turn it on the knob is stuck fast. It won't turn or go in or out. What would cause this? I don't want to break something by forcing it. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Steering box lube

    I was reading about using corn head grease in a steering box but living in a cold climate it seemed too thick in cold weather.
