You probably have an air leak down a carby shaft or around the inlet manifold which opens, or probably closes as the car heats up. Spraying some non volatile liquid around possible air leaks should s

Graham, I'm sure everybody knows the procedure you're referring to, but just in case, I should point out that Eric won't get very far spraying NON-volatile liquid around the carbs. Eric, use somethi

No it wasn't. The almost red hot outlet manifold is just beneath the inlet manifold and anyone who sprays a flammable fluid in that ares wants to go into orbit. Many people use a soap solution for th

I have used carb cleaner many times in the past with no trouble. Works very well. Two caveats. One is that sometimes when you get the leak, the idle goes up, sometimes it goes down. Usually you can t

The most likely place for a leak is where the throttle shafts enter/exit the carb bodies. There are four places this happens. The throttle shaft is a brass rod. There are two of them that are connect

** Thanks to all for your replies. I went out and picked up some carb cleaner. Before I test I have another question. I know it's carb cleaner but is it compatible with lbc SU carbs? If so, I think I
