Title: 1972 Europa with 2 Strombergs Idle starting point
Post by: marks on Monday,July 19, 2021, 07:29:21 AM

I am getting close to finishing my 72 Europa.  I found out that the setting on the linkage between the two Stromberg 175 CD 2 carbs was way off.  Is there a starting point to set the carbs (like a small drill bit) for the butterfly valves?  I appreciate the help!  Mark

I start with 1 to 1.5 turns off fully closed.
