on carburetors. Currently, Zenith Stromberg carbs on my 1975 TR6.&nbs=

e made better. What he found was the carbs were dumping gas into the c=
ylinders especially when starting, to the point the gas was washing down the=
cylinder walls preventing the rings from sealing. Result was a lot of=
white smoke.<br>
<br>
The carbs were rebuilt about 18 months ago by Apple Hydraulics in New York.&=
nbsp; Supposedly all new parts including a new piston in one of the carbs.&n=
bsp; Mechanic Mike is questioning the quality but . . . Several paths t=
o try:<br>
<br>
1. New needles and basic over haul. Least expensive but maybe st=
opgap measure.<br>
<br>
2. Rebuild these carbs using a different shop. Mike recommends a=
shop in Colorado. I=E2=80=99m would worry about a 2nd rebuild in short peri=
od of time.<br>
<br>
3. Replace the carbs.<br>
3a. Mike has a pair of SU carbs in good shape. Mike would replac=
e =E2=80=9Cconsumables=E2=80=9D and install<br>
<br>
3b. Find a pair Stromberg carbs<br>
<br>
3c. Mike likes carbs by Mikuni<br>
<br>
3c. Replace with Webers<br>
<br>
Any ideas / suggestions on what path seems the best?<br>
<br>
Hope all the world is going well for all. Hope to see everyone at Velo=
city.<br>

Thank you,<br>
