[Fot] HS6 carb hesitation TR4

Mike-

What fixes did you finally make to your float lids prior to the Seattle race and did they work?

I ended up buying some new float lids for MGB HS4s from Moss that orient the floats front to back and have the spring loaded needles. Drove the car around the neighborhood and it seemed to run fine, but haven't hit it hard into left handers, and won't be able to do until Topeka. 

If they do the trick, I will share the part numbers with those who are interested. 

Thx

Ty

Hi Tony and Mike-

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, the current float bowl tops and 3 screw configuration doesn't give me this option.  All I can do is turn them 180 degrees. No space for fuel line if I place the pivot front or rear.   

Are there options or different tops for the bowls that can help solve this problem that folks are aware of?

Coming out of left handers right now floods badly and allows others to make some great passes!

Thx in advance for the help

Ty

Mike, the tops of the float bowls need to be oriented so that the 
pivot for the float is at the front or the rear, not to either side.
