With this topic in mind I have one Stromburg that does not work properly. The issue seems to be that the piston does not freely move in the carb body. I have check the diaphram and there are no holes or cracks. Could this be the needle being ever so slightly bent? And how do you tell. Not Moter well in Florida. Darryl Coppenhaver Alpine V 1966

I have several Stomberg CD150's. (Series 5) The way the need attaches to the air valve (piston) is slightly different in each. There is a set screw in the side of the air valve to lock down the needle. On some, the needle then remains fixed with respect to the rest of the air valve. On others, the part of the air valve that the needle locks into moves up and down about 1/8 inch. Therefore the needle moves in the jet. Is this by design or is it broken. How would I fix this? JB Weld (Epoxy). Does it really even matter? Thanks, Chris
