The brass jet adjusting nut on the new carbs is bigger than the old ones so I had to file the wrench open to fit. S.U Burlen does not tell you this when you order new carbs and they don’t include a wrench. Also, I did not notice they put the vacuum take-off on the center carb instead of the rear carb until I installed them. There were also some factory assembly issues with the throttle shaft nuts and other bits that affected the length of the throttle shafts. I worked all of it out but it was a little irritating.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>John<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Bob Spidell<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, July 7, 2020 9:17 AM<br><b>To:</b> Michael Salter <michaelsalter@gmail.com><br><b>Cc:</b> healeys@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Healeys] Carb tuning kit WAS: HS4 Tri-carb tuning<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hate it when that happens.
