[Fot] HS6 carb hesitation TR4

Joe Curto is going to see if he has other tops to address this issue. 

If not, he indicated he has seen some racers remove the ears on the tops and use large washers to hold the tops down.

It took me a while to remember this, as I did this so many years ago, but I
bought alternate HS6 float bowl covers from Joe Curto. From another,
non-TRiumph car, these covers had 2 tubes each, one for the fuel inlet, and
the other for the vent (replacing the hole and sheet metal cover vent
arrangement that were on my HS6's). Once aligned as Tony and others have
described, I had no more stumble out of the corners. An additional benefit
was that having a tube on the vents made it easy for me to run vent hoses
down and away from the engine bay.
