Another reason for stuck float valves on SU's and Strombergs is gums/glues sticking to the fins of the needle valve itself. In my experience, this is the most common cause. Remove the valve and gentl

Does this mean you removed material from the mating faces and then bored the seal back to round? (Kind of like line-boring an engine block) Someone was asking that very question recently, plus I'd li

Second time it's happened over the past couple of years. Driving from work in the TR3A, get a single cylinder misfire, runs rough, corrects itself shortly. Pop the hood and it's easy to find. One of

Reminds me of when my brother poured 2 bottles of automatic transmission fluif down the carb of our 64 Malibu in hopes of cleaning the valves. The last swigs killed the engine and it would not restar

I had two guys come over to look at a mga I had for sale. I had filled the cylinders with arc and put corks in the plug holes. One guy was in the cockpit with the other bent over the engine when I ca

You are right, lock-tite is probably not the answer. It is just a friction-fit, give it a light squeeze with a pair of pliers and you should be OK. If everything is too worn for a squeeze, maybe a n

The float chamber is vented to a port on the face of the carburetor near the main air inlet. It is important that this vent not be clogged. Check this out for some foreign material such as a cob web

I have had the same problem with a 69 TR6 (Z-S) with Grose and it did not go away until I replaced them with standard issue. Steve, The gross jets had a bad run a number of years ago. I therefore thr

I had the same problem with my TR 7 Z-S's and from what I hear from others, it's always the rear carb. It doesn't take much crud in the jet to prevent it from shutting off the fuel. I'd look there ag

This is almost too elementary to be possible. Which is why, of course, it mystifies me! Chasing the oil leak on the TR3A, I had advice from the list about the potential for distortion of the valve co

You've gotten lots of good advise on the cause and I agree. Here's how I deal with clogged fuel needle valves. First get used to taking off the bottom half of the fuel chamber bowls with the carbs s

As another data point, I have a 75 TR6 with Grose Jets. The car suffered from never being driven before I got it. In my case, FWIW, the valves were stuck shut. I disassembled the carbs and soaked the
