17057274 info needed
Frank400:
I'm currently working on a 17057274 and I am seeing two tubes I'm not familiar with. It's the two tubes in the first picture. I know the usual two other pairs are missing (I removed them temporarily).
They extend into what seems to be some sort of vent (grille) on top.
I've read a few times in Cliff's book about an extra set of tubes that are some sort of primary enrichment, but those don't seem to be that. Any help would be appreciated.
carmantx:
They are primary enrichment. You should have small holes on each side facing forward.
Frank400:
I thought about that as well, but there are no holes anywhere. Maybe Cliff can clarify this since he's running that same carb on his car ?
Cliff Ruggles:
The 17057274 did not use primary POE, but it can be installed by drilling very tiny holes at the top of that channel, and using much longer tubes.
It really isn't needed, so really not worth the time/effort to do all the work....IMHO.....Cliff
Frank400:
Thank you very much Cliff. By the way, I measured the secondary POE enrichment holes and they are .061-.062" ? They are kind of large, according to the recipes in your book. Not that I think it could be a problem, just noticed that.
Frank.
