Good afternoon Dave, did you adjust the jet height to .072" below the bridge, 
as a starting point?

Subject: [Mgs] TD running rough

Listers,
Just finished rebuilding the 2 carb jet assemblies on my TD due to leaking from 
the float bowls and bottom of jets I have MGA 1.5? carbs on there.
Prior to replacing the 4 float bowl grommets and jet needle seals and the cork 
like washer that screws into the carb body, car ran great. Nothing else 
touched. Needles and jets the same. Pistons re-centered and clicking when 
lifted and released. Choke not sticking when pushed back in, jets close up 
fine. Took off float bowl covers and both bowls have gas to proper level, no 
stuck levers or needles.
When car started it misfires and engine shakes like too lean. After a bit of 
time, engine stalls, doesn?t just quit. Too coincidental that something 
electrical may have happened.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Dave Houser
