[Healeys] BJ8 Carb problems

[Oudesluys]

Dismantle, clean and rebuild the carbs. The float needles are probably 
stuck as probably the rest of the carbs.
Take them of the car, leave them in carb cleaner for a day or two. Order 
rebuild sets and of you go.
There is no other way after SU's have not been in operation for a few or 
more years.
