Hello Experts!
Just got my '67 500F delivered (will post pics after I take them tomorrow - car was delivered at night). Super excited!!!
Anyway, it smells like it's running rich. It has the Polski 650 with a Weber 28IMB (I think - looks pretty origional). How does one go about adjusting the mixture on these little carbs? I know how to do it on an SU, but not on the Weber. Do I have to get new jets?
Other things I'm going to have to figure out (after a quick nighttime inspection). Sorry for the list (it's to help me figure out what I need to do as well)
1. Tune it up (see above)
2. The hood latch cable is broken. Have to use a flat blade screwdriver to open the hood
3. Only the right turn blinker works. Seems the left tries at times, will have to dig into it and see if it's the stalk switch or the blinker relay (does it have one? I assume)
4. Door locks don't lock. The plunger goes up and down, but it never actually locks. Gotta be a busted/miss adjusted linkage in there somewhere
5. Clutch: It seems to bite in a narrow range, is that normal for these cars? It's almost like an on/off switch. Will read Haynes to see if there's an adjustment
Finally: get smaller feet! It's pretty tight in that footwell, will take some getting used to
Thanks all, and apologies for the long list. Just super excited! Go little car go!
