[TR] H4 carb back!

[Wbeech]

Have you re-centered your jets?  You should be able to hear a definitive
'clunk' after you raise and release the slide.

Is the jet pushed up all the way into the jet barrel?  Sometimes when you
wind up the adjusting nut, the jet does not follow.

Could there be a disparity in the thickness of your large cork washer, the
one behind the 13/16" hex.  If you substituted a thicker neoprene/viton
o-ring this could hold the jet back.

Just some thoughts, I'm sure after a short respite you will take another
look at it and it will be apparent, not too many things that could cause
this.

Of course, If it is producing the proper mixture and not leaking, leave it
alone and enjoy the drive.

After fixing my leaking jet, on the oracle advice! I put my colo(u)r tune on
this weekend, I discovered back carb running rich, no problem, wind up the
adjusting nut, problem- with the nut fully wound up, the mixture is just
about right, but the jet is still not near flush with the top. I know it
should be possible to adjust right up to a flush position, of course this
would be a very weak mixture. But is there a reason why the jet will not
reach the top position. This is the carb I replaced the cork seals on and I
am wondering if I could have put something in the wrong place.
