Mike,
I used to get great comments from the SF SCCA inspectors about my TR3's
SUs not leaking.
I used liberal amounts of petroleum jelly with the cork seals. Have you
checked the jet outside surfaces and diameters for scratches or other issues
that could hurt the seals? Even new parts need to be checked. Are you
certain that the leaks are from the jet OD?
Please be advised that when I went from the H6 to the HS6 the change was
beyond track tuning in the limited amount of time available during a National
weekend for a very modified motor. I had the complete H6 system to
reinstall, and did for that weekend. The center pull linkage for the
butterfly
shafts of the HS6 is much more reliable in my experience, and we did get
them to work very well.
TR Regards,
Hardy

I have been doing some work on the TR4 race car over the winter here in the
Northwest. I am switching to an H6 carb set up from the HS6 carbs I had
used
the last 3 years (long story on why - though I had a carb problem when it
was
a head gasket). I am having problems with the packing leaking around the
Jets. The Jets are new from Joe Curto. When initially put the carbs on
the
car and applied fuel pressure they started dripping. I replaced the new
cork
packings with the Orings that Moss sells. They leaked as well. So I did
some
looking on the internet and SU says to soak the cork packings in motor
oil. I
did that and put the carbs back together after soaking. I had some head
work
done and finally have the engine all together.
I ran the engine today for
the first time and the jets are still leaking. Does the leaking go away
the
carbs have been used awhile? The Jets never actually get used other than
to
center the needle with no choke linkages.
Any ideas would be appriciated.
thanks!!!
