[Healeys] carb damper

[Robert Markovich]

I would also trade in those mastic caps for brass, available from Joe Curto and others.

Yes, also when too heavy of an oil is added to the chamber and then shoving in the dampener; it can come right thru  the plastic cap...use SU or 10W lightweight oil not engine oil or anything else for that matter. Missing dampener solved! Hank

On occasion I have seen dampers  with plastic caps that have the steel rod protruding through the top of the cap.  This is caused when the engine has backfired through the carburetors and the piston and damper are driven upwards. This drives the damper rod through the plastic cap.  You will never see this with the dampers with brass caps.  I suspect this is what started the issue with your damper before the previous owner made it even worse.

Moss shows a damper and so does the workshop manual.  any ideas what i have here?
