When I took apart my '68 1bbl carb, there was not a step up rod in it.

I also read somewhere (here, pirate or birfield) about others with the Asain 68 1bbl carb did not have step-up rods either.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.........
 
:doh: Oh yeah.... right.... Step-up rod supposed to be there or not?
 
Thanks for the info Jim.

My carb does have an arm for the needle. Don't know about the main jet though.

I don't have my FSM close by but the step-up rod prevents the mixture from becoming too lean when powering :confused: but my engine runs pretty good ideling, steping on it and crusing @ 70 or so...

WHat will I gain if I install one? Fuel ecomony?


FWIW and as far as I can tell, nobody has been in the carb since birth to take it out. I also don't have the "spare rod" either as the FSM mentions.
