That is so true Larry.
I do not expect the HS4 carbs on Dave's engine will have the three connections.
These were released when the Evaporate Loss system was introduced in late 1968
I think.
Anyway, in MGB's containing a charcoal filter cannister - the black cannister
filtering the fuel vapours, rocker cover vapours and crankcase vapours.
The HS4's in my 1971 GT still are the original ones - that latest MGB's
equipped with HS4's. The 1972 models were equipped with HIF4 carbs. The HS4
carbs in my GT however already were equipped with "swing needles", which were
standard in HIF4.
Cheers,
Hans

Note the hose on top of the manifold where on Daveâ??s it is just open to the
air.
Also note that one of Daveâ??s float has three connections, one is for fuel in
from the pump, one is for fuel to the other carb, and one is for ventilation.
I have mixed up the fuel in and vent lines and things have not worked well.
