Hello Gang:
I just got my 56 Imperial home from the shop today
after an extensive restoration. It was there for almost 2 years. However there
are some minor glitches that I need help with. At the left side and slightly to
the rear of the carb (assuming you are sitting in the driver's seat looking
forward) is an assembly composed of a rubber diaphram, spring, idle set screw,
and the main throttle linkage from the foot pedal passing through and attached
to the right side of this assembly. What the heck is this doo hickey called?
What is the impact if the rubber diaphram is cracked? It is cracked and you can
easily see the spring just underneath. I can't see any vacuum lines running into
this unit. In any case I am having trouble getting the engine to go to a slow
idle even with the idle set screw backed right off. The return spring is plenty
strong enough. Engine was completely overhauled along with the carb however the
unit I am refering is not attached directly to the carb so was not
overhauled.
Thanks,
Gerry Norberg
