[Healeys] Difficulty Starting

[Eoin Galvin]

Hi all
I am having trouble starting the car (BN1 July 54). I noticed that when I pulled the choke out the jet leaver on the front carburetor does not appear to move much. I disconnected the choke cable to the carbs and manually moved the Jet levers on both carbs. The rear carb leaver moves very freely and has a nice smooth action while the front carb leaver is tight and it takes a lot more effort to move. I removed the air filter on the front carb and moved the piston with my finger and it had a nice smooth movement so I am guessing nothing is binding inside the carb.B B Is the front jet leaver normally tight. If not what should I look at.
Thanks
