Hi Alan;  Well I finally got around to it and the two files for all Big Healey
and Sprite carb models and numbers are now on the AHC of Southern Ontario
website at:  http://www.ahcso.com/Technical.html   The two pdf files are at
the bottom of the page.

Now that sounds like a file that should be on John Sims site.
My 2 cents.

Hello Reinhart;  Attached is a file with all the carb information for the Big
Healey.  The information was sourced primarily from Burlen's over a decade
ago
and the link I used does not work today.  According to the data, the standard
needle is 'QW' and the rich needle is 'QA'

You should be able to confirm at http://www.burlen.co.uk/
or   http://www.sucarb.co.uk/

big rebuild ofthe engine of my 100 the carbs (H4) are running too rich at dle

that "QA" should be the right needles for the engine setup. But he seems to
have difficulties to get these.  Anyone who knows a source for these,
preferable in Europe? >>
