[Healeys] Carb - Adjustments

[Peter Schauss]

3/8ths sounds a bit low when you consider that the normal starting
point for adjusting the jets is one turn down.  If you had to run the
jets down 3/8" to get the mixture right I am surprised that the car
ran at all with the jets at the top.

Did you test the mixture by lifting the dashpots?
Are the float levels correct?

whats looks to be a good 3/8ths below the bushing. Since the adjusting process
starts off with leveling the jets with the bushings, I'm wondering if this is
an indication of;
