[TPR] Asa's progress

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Tonight I got most of the carb back together.  All that's left is the 
vacuum secondary and choke, then make all adjustments.  Somehow I 
ordered the wrong secondary diaphragm, it's too short.  I checked 
on-line and I was supposed to get the -4 model, not the -2.  ARGH!  Well 
as luck would have it, a local speed shop has them in stock so I can 
pick one up locally tomorrow.  I'll save a few dollars on shipping that 
way.  :)

I also installed an anti-backfire check ball in the primary power valve 
circuit.  There's a neat kit you can buy that comes with a drill bit, 
positive stop, spring, check ball and retainer.  It will let you do two 
power valve circuits.  Unfortunately, on the 3310 base plate, the 
secondary circuit uses a transfer slot so you can't install the check 
ball.  But, as I examined things, I did find the throttle body hadn't 
been drilled for the secondary power valve.  That's not surprising 
actually since the carb originally came with a secondary metering block 
and no power valve; hence no need to drill the vacuum passage for it.

So I carefully drilled it out and now I'll have a vacuum circuit to the 
secondary power valve.  I probably didn't really need it, but now it 
will work.

Done for tonight though.
