Hi All,
Car has been running good but not great, carbs are just not set right & I think it's the needles not located correctly in each piston, fitted new needle holders a while ago as once was missing before I bough the car! Improved heaps but still sounds like it doesn't have the right balance of fuel/air, I took these pics and you can see the outer collar (?) that the each holder sits it isn't the same setting, the right hand carb piston has it proud of the groove while the left hand piston has it flush with the groove, I have tired to get both needle holders level with the bottom of each piston which improved running but what is the correct setting? any pics will help,
I guess new needles help as these are possibly originals so 49 yrs old.
Many thanks Damian.
