Books and quick carb question
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2005 11:18 am
Hi all,
Can someone recommend technical books for me to buy on the Elan S4/Sprint please? Rebuild books and ones with detailed drawings of the various components and assemblies. ie Does Bentley do a book for Elans?
A quick question on my Webers. I believe they are 40 DCOE's. There is a take off from the cold air box to the intake manifold at the rear of the block. Rubber tube between both points. The connection at the block appears to be quite loose and could be causing a vacumn leak.
I went to the Goodwood Revival on Saturday and saw a Lotus Cortina with the same hole in the manifold and lo and behold it was clean open with no connection to the filter. Can some explain to me what this is for, is it some form of balance tube ala SU's? Although it appears to be in the wrong place for this.
As you can tell my next purchase is a "how to tune webers" book I know SU's backwards but Webers are new to me.
Cheers,
Neil
