This past winter I rebuilt the carbs on my BJ7 (2 HS6's). I've watched the Moss video more times than I care to admit. I fitted new gaskets,needles and jets (the original problem was that both fuel supply tubes had gotten brittle and cracked), float needles and seats, in fact just about everything in the Master Rebuild kit. I did not change out the throttle shafts as they did not exhibit much wear. The car now starts at the first push of the starter button, runs okay (haven't put the colourtune on it yet) but will *not* start once it's warmed up. Smells rich but adjusting the jet from the starting point of 12 flats doesn't seem to have any affect. Could I have the wrong jets? Anything else I should be looking at?
