Weber carb balancing "Ah-ha" moment

[Backdraft1725]

No problem Paul.

I'm definitely not an expert, but, on my Inglese system, there are two Idle Stop Screws, one on the left and one on the right. I found this odd and tried to set the system using just one of them (backing the other out). Unfortunately, it didn't solve the balance issue for me. The problem was that, by doing this, I could do a Throttle Balance or an Idle Stop Balance, but not both. I believe that this didn't work out because the Idle Stops push the linkage and the Throttle pulls the linkage. Slight play causes each to react a bit differently (I've checked the linkage and it is tight and healthy all around). I believe that this is why my system has two Throttle Stop screws. That being said, there are many different linkage system setups, so the approach may vary.

Again, not an expert on these, just someone who has now gone to the brink and back trying to get my Webers to play nice (which they are finally doing for me).

I have one idle speed screw as a positive stop ON EACH BANK.

One screw on one side only encourages linkage wear/misalignment etc.

Something to think about, for Weber IR owners.

OK, guys, thanks for the clarification!
