These very enlightening responses on Grose jets are that not
promising. I had heard that they often solved float bowl flooding
problems.
My bug is restored 100% stock incl original fuel pump. The odd
time she went rich I used to take the bowls apart and check them
head to toe. Had two filters in line and have since put in a new
gas tank.
Now the odd time, she misbehaves, I just get out, open the bonnet
and give the Culprit Bowl a good British Thwack, and off we go.
