I'm not sure if it was the needle or the diaphragm, but the carb is
definitely running much better / leaner. I did buy the Allan key adjuster.
I'll check the mileage this next week and see where the MPG falls. If it's
still below 30-32 MPG I'll replace the jet. I've been using the spitfire
as my daily driver (70 miles round trip) for the last few weeks (sense it's
been back amount the running). I find that I tend to take alternate routes
home from day to day.

I recon you will notice an inprovement when you tune it, have you
the
special allan key thing? But you will get even better results when
you
replace the jet as well, if your need is warn you can bet it has
warn
somewere on the jet!
What's the butterfly spindle like on these things, do they where
like SU's
do? Chainging the spindles made a huge difference to my car.
