I've got my GT6-3 carbs on the bench, doing some minor rebuilding.
I'm putting in Grose jets, among other things.
My Bentley manual only seems to cover an early version of my Z-S,
so I'm looking for verification on the float height. Is it 18mm, as
measured from the adjacent bowl mating flange to the highest part of the float?
(I
found this height to be more like 16 mm on the needle jets
I'm replacing.) And is 18mm also correct for Grose jets?
Incidentally, the reason my car suddenly wouldn't idle, and showed
a vacuum leak on the rear carb? Badly torn diaphragm. Guess that's
what I get for pushing a 25 y.o. car around Summit Point racetrack. Can't
believe it would run at all under that condition.
