Hi Phil - this is completely off the original topic of spark plugs, but all stemmed from there. I decided to leave them in, refitted the carb will all new seals etc and tuned the car as per instruction that came with the Burlen SU seal kit. The engine did start with the pull knob on first fitting fo...

The throttle spindle. I have noticed when fitted and engine running, slight seepage of fuel from the spindle where it passes though the main body of the carb. On removal of the spindle and disk I can see that the slot that the spindle slides through is brass…so I’m assuming it has already had bushes...

(No P in it), they’re clearly different as the BP6ES protrude longer. I found a sp...

Hi there. 1955 Series 2, 803cc, H Carb. Hopefully you can help. Last year I gave my carb a strip down and replaced all Washers etc. Ive noticed over the past couple of months of so that fuel has been leaking very slowly, As fast as I can see it is coming from around the jet locking nut/jet adjusting...
