[6pack] 6pack Digest, Vol 46, Issue 10

[Luis]

Yeah it’s not the old Grose jets that have been found to be unreliable, it’s the new ones you buy today. QC?

I’ve had the original needle jets in my car since purchased 10 years ago. Put them back in after the new Grose jets that failed from the carb rebuild.  Who knows how long before that. 

Key is filtering.

No news here, right?! I know the Grose Jet is thought poorly of by some on these forums, but I can attest to having only one incidence of failure in the 33 years I've used the Grose. One piece of rubber about the size of a piece of rice got thru. Likely my fault since I had peviousy changed a fuel line, after the filter.
