Biff,
I did not adjust the angle of the float bowl when I installed the carb.
Could you glance at one of your Spridgets and tell me what angle the float
bowls are at? Does anybody have a chrome bumpered MGB where they might
check the angle of the float bowl? Maybe between the two, I can work
something here.

Bob,
Is the carb at the same angle as installed on a regular B manifold? If it
sits at a different angle you will have float setting/seating problems. If
it is different you could make a spacer to correct it.
