Hi Spitfire (and Triumph) Listers.
The Zenith-Stromberg carb on my '79 Spitfire will not retain its oil inside
the dashpot (or more precisely, the "air valve guide rod"). If I lift the
air valve it just pumps the oil into my intake.
I would like to replace the o-ring over the metering needle adjusting
screw. But I can't figure out how to remove the retaining clip(s) without
possibly damaging them. A picture of what I am referring to is on page 15-4
of the Haynes Carb manual.
Can anyone help me? The last sentence of the above-referenced page says
"The [needle adjusting] screw is not removable."
