First things first, Jack. What kind of car are we talking about? It
sounds, from your description, like we're talking about Zenith
Strombergs that have adjustable needles and fixed jets, which means
to me that it's a TR6 or later GT6. (although I'm not too familiar
with GT6s) In the case of the GT6 the carbs would obviously be CD150s
instead of CD175s but I assume all other rules would apply.
Dylan spoke of needles being included with a rebuild kit. For my TR6
I've never received new needles with the rebuild kits I've ordered.
But, just for verification, I believe the proper TR6 needles are
marked B1AF.
Let's be sure we have some basic facts before we start making diagnoses.
