Brian, Yes the rear carb is especially difficult to remove. Two years ago I=
helped a friend with his Jaguar E-Type V12, it took me about 4 hours to re=
move four carbs, absolutely awful.

Subject: [Healeys] Running Problem
Success! I would like to thank everyone on the list for the enthusiastic su=
pport I received in trying to get my BJ8 running properly.
In the end I took both carbs off and took the right apart and cleaned them.=
Nothing seemed untoward or problematic Except while I was checking the scr=
ew hold one of the fuel metering needles into the piston I noticed that it =
seemed a little too loose. When I tugged on the need it easily slipped out =
of position. I am surmising that on one of the occasions that the car was p=
opping back through the carbs , the action sharply pushed up on the piston =
and dislodged the needle which would have fallen down into the jet and bloc=
ked fuel from flowing. In any event when I positioned the needle correctly =
and tightened the screw then carefully made all of the adjustments and rei=
nstalled everything, the car is now running better than it has ever run!
I can only think that after starting the car after it=92s long winters nap,=
one of the float needles hung open and dumped fuel out off the overflow. I=
have no explanation for the puddle of fuel under the engine but I am sure =
the everything was related.
Again thank you all for the ideas, believe me I looked each and every reply=
. This list is an unbelievable asset.
One minor thing, I had forgotten how obscenely difficult it is to get those=
carbs off and on. It took me over an hour to get the lower right nut on th=
e stud for the front carb. If I had tiny hands it would have been a lot eas=
ier but we have to do with what we have.
