[Healeys] BN2 Flooding Problem

[Larry Wendland]

Have you checked the front float to see if it has sunk. If it has fluid in it
(take it out and shake it), if it does it  has a crack in it and is drawing
fuel in to it when every thing cools off.  They are hard to fix once they
start sucking fuel in to them. It is best to replace it.  Just a thought.

Our BN2 (100M) runs like a jeweled-watch, with one exception: the front
carburettor floods occasionally.  We've cleaned
the float bowls, and tried 3 different types of valves--including Grosse
Jets--but it still floods.  Usually, it's after
the car has been sitting a while without running, but it's always the front
carb
though we've swapped valves around
several times.

Anyone encountered this problem?  Any suggestions and, of course solutions
welcome.

TIA,
Bob
