[Mgs] Carbs still being nasty

[Clayton Kirkwood]

Well, I took an air compressor to the bottom end of the tub and couldn't get
any air through the tube.

 

As to the valve: the manual and I think Moss show the rubber down which hits
the lever, leaving the brass to close against the valve hole at the top. I
thought to myself, that is kind of dumb: why make the rubber tip crush
against lever metal and brass against a small hole. Brass against lever and
rubber against open hole makes far more sense.

 

As to DPO, my understanding would be Previous.

Have you proved the overflow/vent pipes are blocked?

 

With the float valve upside down it will never shut off the fuel, and that
in itself can cause fuel to bubble up through the jet.

 

Your car is definitely suffering from DPO syndrome, what ever the 'P' stands
for.

I definitely have plugged overflow tubes.

At least one of the valves (the front one) had the valve needle upside down:
the rubber tip was headed down not up.
