Always the contrarian, and FWIW I've run Grose Jets in my BJ8 with
no fuel filter for well over 100K miles with no issues. OTOH, I got
a newer set for my BN2 and didn't like the way they operated (the
little ball on top would get stuck). Rumor has it the company was
bought out and quality suffered (shocking, I know--looking at you,
County). <br>
<br>
I'm not a big believer in fuel filters for Healeys; I figure
anything that gets by the little brass 'thimbles' in the carbs will
settle in the float bowls or pass through; better to invest in a
clean tank and new lines if necessary. I cut my Ranger's fuel filter
open at over 100K miles, and all I found was some tiny black flakes,
which I figured came from the plastic tank (filters are absolutely
necessary in FI engines).<br>

<div>Yeah there are two balls in there, a big one and a
small one. They don't move much. Grose jets are very good
provided you have decent fuel filter keeping dirt out of
the carbs... otherwise they are useless. Also Grose jets
don't do all that well if the car sits for long periods.
I actually found the old style jets are a bit less
finicky, but you do need to tap the carbs with a plastic
mallot from time to time to keep them from overflowing.</div>

Grose-Jet needle assembly in my carbs some time back. When
disassembling the float chambers to clean them, I see that
the ball in the bottom moves VERY little, but does rattle.
Is this type of valve supposed to move up like the old
“needle and seat” type??<br>
<br>
Thank you for your help. <br>
