Dave, M, and all,
Please never never never use fish oil on British carbs. This product will
dry up and clog up the linkages. I actually had a couple of warranty
exchanges as a result of this product.
I used Berrymans carb cleaner for this leak test once, and caught the engine
on fire. Now i use Ether *Quick Start" (for diesel cars). This stuff is
even more flammable, but it is sooo hot, that it evaporates quickly and does
not leave a residue for the fire very long.
Why not just pack some thick grease into the ends of the shaft and see if
the car runs better? This will accomplish the same thing.
