Subject: [Healeys] Stuck needle valve

Just taking my BJ8 out of storage and it looks like I have a stuck needle v=
alve in one of the carbs.  Fuel pump continues to run somewhat and fuel com=
ing out of one of the overflow pipes.  Not pouring out, but not just drippi=
ng either.

Anyone have any clever suggetions for unsticking it without pulling the flo=
at bowl lid off? =20

Thanks,
Frank

It is very likely that it is stuck because there is some sediment or a 
piece of debris preventing the valve to fully seating. Only one 
solution: remove lid, inspect and clean (or, unlikely, repair worn 
needle/seat) and prevent debris to reach this spot by fitting a fuel 
filter near the carbs!!
Any other solution like tapping, fuel additive etc. is half hearted and 
not likely to last.

Frank--

You've probably already spent more time thinking about a way around
removing the lid than actually doing it, and in any case you'll want to see
and know what is actually going on in the bowl as it could be a multitude
of things ranging from debris, a worn pin, etc.

Go have a look--Michael Oritt

True enough.  I figure if I pull the lids, undo the banjo bolts etc, im proa=
bably looking at a guarenteed fuel leak since I dont have new gaskets handy.=
 Just trying to get it about 3 miles to home from storage so I can work on i=
t there and do it right.

Thanks for the suggestions,
Frank
