Subject: TR6 Carb Jets - Where do you get them?
>I've been having some trouble with my Zenith Stromberg 175 CD's on my 1974
>TR6. Symptoms include a slighty rich mixture that you just can't seem to
>adjust out. Car runs fine but the exhaust smells strongly of petrol and
>the tailpipes stay quite black.

>After researching the problem (ie, talking to a friend who was once a

>After checking the carbs, I found the jet in the carb body is elongated
>(ie, they are no longer round). My experience with SU's on the MGB has

Try Apple Hydraulics at 800-882-7753, I bought needles from them. Their
brochure says they also stock jets.
