| 49080 GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/LG13.10.24. EAC. CARB. Please check over the following points carefully on EAC. Carburetter on 93-NK, and send in a report :- (1) Will the engine run slow enough light and under load, and is the running perfectly even and certain? (2) Is it possible to detect a weak spot anywhere between its slowest speed and the point where the air ports open? (3) Does the air valve close quickly enough when the accelerator is released and is it possible to again accelerate after release of pedal before air valve is down? (4) Is acceleration good and even? How does it compare with Delage's claims on top gear? (5) Is the jet needle taper enough both at low (slow running) and high speeds? (6) Has any trouble been expereinced through the air valve sticking? Is it perfectly free when engine is hot? (7) Is there any trouble through carb. flooding - car on incline or steep camber on road?
