Re: 1968 911S mix too rich at 9.3?

Unfortunately they were not interested in adjusting the carbs.

If I wanted to lean up the 1000-4000 is this an adjustment I can make on the carbs? Without re-jetting ?

Had my 1968 S dyno’d today, power was 152.5 torque 127; fuel mix was 9.3 . Tester suggested mix was too rich, is he right? What adjustments can I make? It’s a stock 911S with K&N filters (in case that matters). Running Esso super which I understand is 0% ethanol 99 octane It was warm today, so d...

Re: WTB 1968 SWB drive shafts

Yes to be clear, it was a CV joint failure (at the Diff end), I had not appreciated the need to change the CV joint on the drive shafts which is now quite obvious- DOH!, so done properly I need to change all 4 CV joints? to Lobro 302229.

Re: WTB 1968 SWB drive shafts

What type nadella or lobro? Had this issue earlier this year. If lobro cv joints count the splines, if original they should have 25 or 27, (cannot remember the exact count), anyway you cannot buy new joints off the shelf. Solution is to buy VW irs drive shafts that have a 33 spline count. You shoul...

I recall one ddk member voicing concerns about the range of angle for the CV joi...
