[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

All I can tell you from bitter experience is it's better to be rich. I guess that is true in general...

G'Day 
Problem 1 
 I have a BN2 with Le Mans upgrades ,  1 3/4 carbys with OA6 needles & the car is running very rich,I have ordered weaker OA8 needles hoping to sort out this problem . However this car has flat top pistons hence much higher compression .Am I going down the right road .
Problem 2
This car left standing overnight ,on startup has a severe bearing rattle , my long time mechanic ( retired, read old ex BMC man)  is of the opinion that the spin off filter non-return is failing The oil release valve seems to be in good condition. Startup now is to crank over without starting to get oil pressure up then fire up , Subsequent startups are not a problem
