More on the still developing SU drama:
First, thanks to all who offered help on baseline settings for my (now
aborted) attempt at tuning in the HS2's on the '74 Midget 1275 I've been
playing with. I never cease to be amazed at the amount of knowledge out
there (and am thankful!).
However, before I could get my happy-go-lucky self back to the vehicle,
it was taken to a shop where the mechanic advised new float needles. The
owner, having found a new set of Grose Jets in the box of spare parts,
installed them.
The carbs now flood -- horribly. Well, only the front one did at first;
the back one was bone dry. Then I swapped the fuel inlet and the vent
lines back around, and achieved monumental flooding on both carbs.
Suspecting the float levels, I checked these, and found them at 1/8 inch
(measuring from the lowest point on the float to the highest point on the
body/cap). The floats are the plastic type with the built in
hanger-thingie pivot point; neither appears to be leaking. The fuel pump
appears to be operating normally.
What in the @#$#&^ am I forgetting or missing here?
Thanks!
