<div>I plan to replace the weber (45DCOE) with HS4s on my 1968
GT. The needles are bent and a float is missing. Is it
reasonable to expect success by replacing these parts (and
maybe jets and float valves), after a good cleaning? What
needles and jets?</div>

It would be a good idea to send the carbs off to a rebuilder.
They would know what's needed.<br>

<div>I have shiny carb air cleaners to use on my 1972 Roadster
with HIFs, but when I replace the stock air cleaners, the car
bogs and won’t accept the throttle. Should I change jets?
What jets?</div>

Sounds like the filters are clogged. Clean or replace the
filter elements and try again.<br>

<div>Should a car start without choking? Is that a indication
of a rich mixture if it does? I have a car with HS6s that
fouls the plugs when I start it and move it in and out of the
garage, but don’t drive it. The car needs choked to start but
once started the choke can be relieved immediately. Do I have
a mixture issue? Do I need a meter?</div>
</div>

Are the jets free to move up & down? Sounds like they are
but don't move far enough up when the choke is pushed in. <br>
Could be a matter of jet adjustment. If it's fouling the plugs
with dry black residue it's running rich. If the residue on
the plugs is wet & oily the rings are leaking. <br>

<div>The weber runs rich and, I suppose, can be corrected
changing jets. Can anyone point me in the right direction in
all this? Maybe a supplier that has explanations?</div>

You seem to have a fixation on the jets. The Weber running
rich could be a matter of the float height or a leaking float.<br>
Is there a MG club in you area? You need a knowledgeable
person to look at all of your carbs.<br>
