Listers,
I've gone through the archive but it couldn't solve my problem. The lads at
the workshop here say that my carbs are shot, leaking air through the
throttle valve, usual story, recommend new ones. I tell them that you can
rebush, get total refurbishing kits etc. They say - yes, we know all that,
you can do all that, but these carbs are 45 years old and worn out, if I
buy new I'll see a big difference compared with rebuilt, they'll be stable
for years without any adjustment whatsoever.

So - question. Any opinions? Do you agree with them? Is a totally rebuilt
unit of the kind offered by Apple Hydraulics (
http://www.applehydraulics.com/carbs.htm), TRF and others more or less as
good as a new unit, or do you eventually have to fork out for new ones?

Many thanks for any suggestions,
Dave

PS is an H6 an H6 regardless of car. That is will an H6 from a Volvo, Rover
or similar be identical to the unit found on the TR3?
