GT380 Carb Slide Height
Posted: Sun Apr 23, 2017 7:30 am
Morning All,
I just re-installed the carbs on my 1974 GT380. I set the float heights per spec. My question is about the slide heights. I bench-set them using the old "paperclip" trick so that each slide is just barely open/raised. After install, with the throttle cables installed, the slide height naturally rises to maybe 1/4" open when looking in through the intakes.
Question is, will this be the correct height (at least initially) to get it running, or do they have to be lowered using the slide adjustment rod/nuts on each carb? I Can't seem to find that spec in any of the material I have.
Thanks,
Mike
