Volume control screw on carb - does it really do what it says?

Jul 08, 2003 11 Replies

I just happened to be looking in my Clymer manual and noticed that on the carb, there's a volume control screw... does this really make it run more quietly? Our 74 has a non stock carb and muffler and the muffler is rather loud... wondering if adjusting this screw on the carb will help that a bit?

Awww heck, I guess I am going to have to go Hi Fi then. I only have a single quiet pack. I always seem to be behind the curve on these things. Can I get a multi case player too? I want to load a stocker, 1776, 1.8, 1.9 and a full blown 2.5 liter engines and then depending on my mood I can just select my engine............OK I will stop now. 8~)
