Mike:
Interesting that you installed the Grose needle valves. Weren't
happy once you got everything
running right? Needed to suffer a bit more, did we? Perhaps you are
Catholic, and felt guilty
that everything was going well?
If you reset the float height, then everything should be fine. I
suspect that the valves
are not sealing, and allowing the fuel level to rise even though they
are "seated". Does the engine
load up and die eventually at idle? If so, they aren't sealing.
I can't offer any advice, really. You are in uncharted territory
as far as I am concerned.
Cheers,
Vance

Subject: Grose jets
I installed Grose jets and noticed that they came with a thin fibre
washer
rather than the thick aluminum washer used on the stock needle valves. I
set the
floats to factory specs. Now have an exceedling rich idle. Should I
reset
floats a little lower or install the thicker washers? I haven't been
able to
lean up the carbs enough to compensate. TIA
