Hello Fellow Spitfire-pilots:
My '73 Spitfire is equipped with the single Stromberg 175 carb. There is a
sucking hole that, apparently, has no other purpose other than to emit
whistling noises on the front of the carb. All other vacuum hoses are
connected and functioning. I have seen other carbs with this hole plugged
with a silicone or rubber plug.
Can anyone recommend at suitable caulk material that will withstand exposure
to heat and gasoline? Any other thoughts and comments on the purpose of
this orifice?
Thanks and best regards,
Walt Fogle
