A couple of Barry Cades that may prove useful to someone:
1. Gunson Carbalancer - after putting the vacuum seal unit into the carb mouth, give the carb a small blip. This will lift the little pointer to get a reading. The idling suction is sometimes/usually not enough to lift the pointer on its own. [The carb must be blipped anyway before taking a reading - so just do it a second time with the Carbalancer in place.]
2. SU dashpot oil - yes there are many different ideas on what oil to use. One that I'm getting good results with is a product sold as "Air Tool Oil" for use on such things as compressed air impact wrenches etc. Sold in bottles at all places where home workshop air compressors and related gear are retailed.
