Hi Adam
Note that when you wind the jets (and I think not 100% on this needles if
you have late Stromberg ) tight you are in fact at full lean not full rich
which would lead me to deduce that you may in fact have been richening
instead of leaning out when you have made adjustments, just a thought.
Another thought, keep your fingers out of the door gap when driving, one you
should be holding the wheel, two you could get them trapped and bruised! ;-)

Graham.
