Greg, the adjusting process starts with the jets flush with the carburetor
bridge, but the next step is to screw in (clockwise) the jet adjusting
screws 2-1/2 turns (which lowers the jet, enrichens the mixture) as a rough
point to get the engine started. The remaining carb adjusting procedures
will determine the final position of the jets.

Subject: [Healeys] Carb - Adjustments
List;
After adjusting the carbs on my 65BJ8 I'm finding the jets are both, equally
whats looks to be a good 3/8ths below the bushing. Since the adjusting
process starts off with leveling the jets with the bushings, I'm wondering
if this is an indication of;
- All is well,
- Wrong needles (professionally rebuilt with Moss kit last year),
- The carbs are set way too rich,
- low fuel pressure, or
- I just like to post stuff on the Healeys forum.
