[Healeys] Carburetor cleaning and re-oiling

[Alan Seigrist]

Jorge -

Oil will not fix this problem, you need to center the jet.  Centring
the jet takes some time check on you tube there is an instructional
video on how to center the jet on SU carbs in there - the principles
are the same for all SU carbs.
