lol... this is exactly what happened to the other titan on our field after he did
his carb rebuild. When they were doing the balance, it was all over the place
as they advanced and retarded the throttle. It was either way off at idle or
way off at full power and they went back and forth adusting the cables pretty
much the whole afternoon.
So they pulled the carbs and checked for debris - sure enough a small piece of
rubber was found in the passages. Once they were cleaned and reinstalled, the
balance went normally.
One thing I do when changing the lines to insure that they stay clean during installation
is I cap the ends of the lines with rubber stoppers from the autoparts
place. You can get them large enough to fit over the ends of the lines. Basically
I make the assemblies, clean them out with gas and high pressure air then
cap them. Then I can push them through firewall holes and firesleeve without
having to worry about stuff getting into the lines. I also cap the fittings
on the carbs, fuel pumps and tank just to make sure....
May sound kind of anal but you can't be too clean when doing anything to the fuel
system ;)
