[Healeys] Carburetor cleaning and re-oiling

[Rich C]

Jorge,

The jet is not centred properly for the needle to be able to fully drop down 
the middle. It is presently hanging up on one side, the jet being off to one 
side, and causing a bind. Follow the jet centring instructions in the 
workshop manuals. It's not difficult. I use 30wt. oil in the damper.
