Carb DashpotsPoor
acceleration and "sputtering" during accelleration may be due to a low
oil level in the carburetor dashpots. Automatic transmission fluid
works well in some carbs, but not in others. The old recommendation of
"the same oil as used in the engine" is a good place to start. If this
gives too lean a mixture on acceleration, try a slightly heavier oil;
if too rich, then a lighter oil is indicated. Fill to within 1/4 inch
of the top of the hollow air piston rod. Do not overfill!
