Thanks, I'll check it out. Can I pull that float
chamber apart without removing anything else? Is
there anything tricky in the procedure? Anything in
particular that I'll be looking for?

Yes, which is why I never want to go back to that
place again. Believe it or not, I took the car into
the shop because I could not figure out why the car
was running slightly rich. They are an MG specialty
shop, and I figured they would be able to get to the
bottom of it quickly. Four days later, when I went in
to pick the car up, they had fully rebuilt both carbs
even though I had not approved that work, and they
presented me with a bill for over $1400.
I'm not joking. $1400 and change. I could have
bought a set of HS6's for that price, plus a light
flywheel and a Peco header.
After my heart restarted, I had to spend an hour
fighting with them to release the car. In retrospect
I should have refused to give them even a penny, but I
was so strung out I finally settled on $750 and just
chalked it up to experience. But it still pisses me
off to think about it...
