: Which one is correct?
: WW carby gasket. Top left repro from club I think, top right original and bottom installed by carby shop but part of the gasket is missing at pump valve seems by design not cut or blown.
: Original problem was excess fuel in exhaust when down shifting.
: Always running rich no matter what I adjusted.
: Thanks

Brian Hooper
: ill look threw my kit tomorrow arvo at the farm
: Greg Gibson
: F
: Neville Humpherys
: I don't think it really matters. As long as the Bolt holes are right.
: The bit missing is common, the solid top will not matter as there is nothing there to cover.
: Tony Brown
: Ok so any idea why the excess fuel even tho I'm following procedure for tuning.
: Brian Hooper
: touchy dump valve?
: Neville Humpherys
: Check the base plate is correct, Leyland base plates are different to Holden and Ford ones.
: To large of main jet, maybe. Stromberg carbs are great.
: When you say excess fuel, what does that actually mean?
: Scott Wilkie
: Yeah I don't think the missing bit around the squirter plunger well on the lower one matters.
: It's above the well.
: All it would do is let air or bypassed fuel back into the top of the bowl.
: Tony Brown
: Excess fuel being burnt in exhaust pipe when foots off the gas.
: Stripped carby last night and the jets and squirters match out in size.
: Also have an msd ignition which could also be the problem
: Scott Wilkie
: have a look at the dizzy, in particular vac advance function.
: That's primarily what it's for, to control ignition on overrun.
