[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 119729, member: 98"] ok when rich icing is going to happen in summer or anytime ... this has been long battle for me also mmm flat out most car carbs when put on oldwings do not provide enough air to idle ...yes they seem rich and may be ... but the big problem as it turned out for me was not playing with gas jets ... it was getting more air to the game ... on the carb i use witch is not toms or solex ... its a weber dft ..but it bigger than the tom carb 32-32 dft......the problem was getting more air without adding gas at the same time ... for me this turn into putting hole in throttle plate totally away from any gas source.....reality is once the charge gets right ..the icing becomes less and less issue ...i am not saying start drilling holes as i have never work with carb your talking about ...just saying you ought to just keep hammering on getting the carb right ... clone or not ..the dam thing can be tricked to work it has never been the manifold set up that make or breaks the single carb set up like most people who push manifolds .....sheesh when stock carbs are crap out of adjustment they ice too ...its more a condition of the charge than anything else ......
