Have been reading many of the post on six packs and read about reducing kill bleed size to start opening the outers quicker. Would blocking off one of the carbs kill bleed give the same effect? Say the front carb only and since they have a T fitting inline hose would give signal to other? Would it almost be a progressive transition? Or it could just be this Zero degree weather frosting my Brain

I have never tried that. But I have worked on several that would open late or erratically because the bleeds were clogged.
Are we to assume that you have tried the spring kits and they still don't open quick enough even with the lightest springs? And that you have made sure that the other usual culprits are not a problem?
Master, again and still

Something I always thought would work that I wanted to try is......... a small barrel valve or even a little needle valve in line on the vacuum hoses. Would make the bleeds totally tunable with the turn of a knob. You would just need to make them all a little oversized then adjust down.

Wow flash...great idea, and a heck of a lot easier than spring fiddling. I'm going to figure something out and try it when summer comes around here...Thanks,

Wait a minute, let's rethink this, if we're trying to slow the bleed-off of vacuum, to make the secondaries open quicker, aren't we working on the wrong side of the diaphragms by putting a restriction in the vacuum lines from the center carb???? We need to have the restriction in the channel from the vacuum pods to the secondaries' orifice to the venturis.... Or am I crossed up?? Joe
