Hi all,
My truck is a '47 3100 with the original 216. The carb is a Carter W-1 (574s, I think). I've had some carb issues, but am plugging my way through them. One of the things recommended was to confirm float level: done 1/2" seated and ~ 1" "hanging open". After this adjustment, no change in the performance wrt taking choke, so this can be ruled out.
When driving the truck, or just running it, it backfires when I stab the throttle (one pop, relatively light, the wipers jump). Less aggressive throttle application causes no issues.
I'm not prone to think the carb can cause a backfire. What is the best course of investigation? Timing? Overhead re-set?
Thanks for [all] the help.
Bill
