I rebuilt a pair of carbs 3 times trying to figure out the trick. The best advice I got was soak the cork seals in oil. Not just for an hour or overnight. Try a week. When I put the carbs together and leave the nuts squeezing the seals on with a light amount
of pressure. Put everything together. You'll notice the chokes work very nicely. But when you run the car, the seals will leak gasoline. Tighten the seal nuts a little at a time till the gas stops leaking. If you're lucky you might still be able to pull
the choke.</div>

I am curious if anyone has used the new seals I see that Moss sells? Are they any better?</div>

<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt">
<div class="PlainText">I have finished rebuilding the carbs, new carb linkage etc. Unfortunately<br>
after all this tuning the carbs hesitate at first push of the pedal. They<br>
kind of go huhh then rev the engine. It's a hesitation. Seems to be<br>
better with choke on. The choke cable is hard to pull out. Takes two ands<br>
to pull out and then twist to lock. That's to really get the choke levers<br>
to move both jets down. Is this normal or maybe I need a new choke cable.<br>
I think the resistance is in the mechanism engineering. Any thoughts on<br>
aither issue. Hard choke pull or hesitation.<br>
Thanks<br>
