Hello Michael

=20

The carburettors originally installed to the 100 four-cylinder engines =
fitted with the Le Mans kit were H6, not HS6 and according to my SU book =
the needles are OA6 for rich, OA7 for standard and OA8 for weak.

=20

The piston spring should be red in colour.

I have been experiencing less than stellar performance with my 100 =
Lemans and need to go back to basics.

=20

What is the wisdom (I don't ask for consensus!) on appropriate needles =
for the carbs (HS6) and what spark plugs are folks favoring these days?=20

=20

Also what tappets clearances are folks used for a DW AL head in the =
"fast road" or stage 2 tune with DW tubular headers?  If it matters I =
have installed a Mallory MagLite distributor.

=20

Best--Michael Oritt
