[TR] [Mg-t] SU Carb Question, epilog

[wbeech at flash.net]

Spoke with Lawrie at Moss support.  His examples all showed the hole to be
left open, so I have drilled out the suspect carb of the pair, completed the
re-build and everything runs just great.

Many thanks to all that responded... I love this list!

i once had a set of su carbs that never ran right and the vent holes were
the issue..... i forgot what the reason was for leaving them open and/or
closed,,, but know for certain that john twist at university motors set me
straight and actually in my case, for whatever reason, had me seal up the
holes.... car then ran like a dream..... wow i am gettung old... i cannot
remember....!!
