Hi James,
Had the same trouble with the twin webers I have just put on Sophie. Wiggling
the discs sorted it for me...
The problem wasn't so much, too big a gap, it was more that all the gap was at
the top of the disc, where the jets are on Webers. Recentreing cured the whole
problem. Is the gap on yours at the bottom more that the top?
Cheers
Tim
