<p class="MsoNormal">Brian, Yes the rear carb is especially difficult to remove. Two years ago I helped a friend with his Jaguar E-Type V12, it took me about 4 hours to remove four carbs, absolutely awful.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Success! I would like to thank everyone on the list for the enthusiastic support I received in trying to get my BJ8 running properly.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">In the end I took both carbs off and took the right apart and cleaned them. Nothing seemed untoward or problematic Except while I was checking the screw hold one of the fuel metering needles into
the piston I noticed that it seemed a little too loose. When I tugged on the need it easily slipped out of position. I am surmising that on one of the occasions that the car was popping back through the carbs , the action sharply pushed up on the piston and
dislodged the needle which would have fallen down into the jet and blocked fuel from flowing. In any event when I positioned the needle correctly and tightened the screw then carefully made all of the adjustments and reinstalled everything, the car is now
running better than it has ever run!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I can only think that after starting the car after it’s long winters nap, one of the float needles hung open and dumped fuel out off the overflow. I have no explanation for the puddle of fuel under
the engine but I am sure the everything was related. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Again thank you all for the ideas, believe me I looked each and every reply. This list is an unbelievable asset.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">One minor thing, I had forgotten how obscenely difficult it is to get those carbs off and on. It took me over an hour to get the lower right nut on the stud for the front carb. If I had tiny hands
it would have been a lot easier but we have to do with what we have.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
