Mike,
Just use shims on the left hand front engine mount to raise the engine a bit
on left hand side. That should solve your problem.
Had the same on my car.

Betreff: [Healeys] Tri-carb foul

Calling the Tricarb genius bar.  I have just rebuilt my carbs and am having
trouble setting the chokes.  The rear jet-head (black plastic
cap) is fouling the steering column when the choke is out, in fact it
restricts choke movement.  There is about .040 inch clearance with choke in on
a cold engine.  The jets are new and correctly fitted.  (I thought about
cutting one inch out of the middle of the steering column but decided that not
having a choke and therefore not being able to start the car was probably the
safer option).

All I can think of is worn engine mounts but they look good, or is there a
cranked jet for the rear that did not come with the kit - nothing in the parts
list.  Please advise, the weather is good here and I need a fix.
