[Fot] Figured it OUT!!!!!!!!! ya hoo Re: More help needed on HS6 hesitation 1962 TR4

[Bob Kramer]

I've tried this "trick" part and it caused flooding in my TR4A. Raising the 
lid raised the float enough to bring the fuel level at the jet over the top. 
I didn't try to see if i could solve this problem because I could already 
get fuel to rise to that level without it. I have the part if anyone wants 
to try them.
