[TR] stromberg CD carb metering needle removal

[Jack McGahey]

You need to rotate the metering needle adjustment full lean (counter clockwise up to 3 full turns) to screw the adjusting nut all the way out of the needle assembly - do that before you remove the set screw from the side - no special tool for removal - the spring is within the base of the needle assembly -  o really revel at for removal of the needle

>> I'm trying to remove the metering needle on my Stag carbs, to replace the O ring, which is leaking dashpot oil.  Ive removed the set screw but the needle is spring loaded into the air valve by a second means.  The ROM and the stromberg overhaul manual talk about several different carbs, some it is just a matter of removing the set screw and that it, others ,like mine, have a spring loaded needle.  It looks like there is a special tool to remove it.  Has anyone done this with this type of spring loaded metering needle, and any words of wisdom?
