[Healeys] Carb Confusion

[Austin Healey]

Check the needle valve and the fuel level. A leaking needle valve or a high
fule level can cause this symptom.
The other thing is a wrong jet size. If You have the original, You can
compare them.

>> 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?
