Update IV:

I made it home! I actually fixed the linkage problem, I think...

I don't know that much about Webers outside of what I have read on the different sites and dealers that sell them. Sooo I didn't know about the linkage on the bottom right side of the carb. The one with the little roller... Well I lubed THAT linkage and it loosened right up. I then lubed that linkage on the remaining three carbs.

I took the car for a test drive mid-afternoon in Austin (95F) and no binding. I still waited until 1930 to head home. No problems, except now it idles very high, around 1800rpm, or so. I look at it some more in the morning.

It is running very rich on the idle circuit, as well. Once I hit 2800rpm, or so it leans out. According to the engine builder, the idle jets are 70F10. I thin k these are too large for the 800' and 90F+ temps we have here. What do the resident Weber experts think?

Thanks for all of the imput. The car is still more fun than should be legal!!!

Oh yeah, almost forgot: Yes I do have some good grease here at the house...We use it on big navel guns and it is good up past 600F. I'll clean everything with some alcohol, and relube with the good stuff!
