Good Morning Listers,

1/ Progress...  installed new carb jets and gasket on cylinder block side 
plate.  Attempted to spray bonnet and driver's door - not as easy as I had 
expected !

Initial impression is that this the oil leak from the side of the engine and 
extreme rich running are improved.

Problem - the car will still not idle.  I start it up on full choke & the revs 
rocket immediately. If attempt to start it with less than full choke then 
nothing much happens. When started, I push the choke in but apply more throttle 
and the engine dies quickly.  Any suggestions ?


2/ FYI I went to the autojumble in Tatton Park, Knutsford, UK on Sunday.  
Fantastic !  Lots of old bits and cheap too !
I picked up a speedo for #15.  Tested it with my electric drill at home and it 
seems to work fine.


Thanks,
