Hi all, I just wanted to explain how I fixed the “fuel splash into the air corrector” issues I used to have when I used to compete with my triple Webered Healey 3000. 
First time I ran a motorkhana - everytime I went hard braking into a garage, did a front end throw, etc, the webers spluttered, and the engine stalled. Same sort of thing happened on the track - when you had to brake hard, turn - Webers would go splutter..... splutter... before it would eventually clear and take off again. 
The old school solution was a jet lid riser extension kit. Problem solved. 
I've had these on my triple webered Healey 3000 for over 20 years.
It's not a new concept, but I was pretty shocked that no one makes them any more for DCOE Webers.
They are designed to stop fuel sloshing into the air corrector (at the top of the emulsion tube, under the emulsion tube holder) during harsh braking, cornering and extended high speed cornering. 
The Weber DCOE jet lid riser kit comprises a machined new emulsion tube holder with a Pressed on thin wall brass sleeve, with a nice Shiny new alloy Jet lid riser/ spacer, with a new stainless longer stud, and a Viton seal. 
So I’m making a few new kits, for some mates who were having the same issues - especially in Spridgets with Weber DCOE’s. Let me know if you’re interested In some. 
Chris.
