Sunbeamers,
I wonder if anyone can suggest a solution to my problem? Some months back I
had a fire under the bonnet (hood?) - it didn't do too much damage (I always
carry a fire extinguisher) but it did leave everything very messy. A few
weeks ago I decided to pull out the carbies (Stromberg CD 150s) to clean
them up. After the clean up and reinstallation they have been running really
rich. I have made sure the jets are aligned properly, the floats are
adjusted to the correct height, the chokes are not stuck and the needles
seem OK. I can screw the jets up as far as they can go and still get black
smoke out of the exhaust pipe at idle. My petrol consumption has gone from
28 - 30 mpg to barely 20. I have been running this set up for many years and
never had this type of problem. Any ideas? My wife is starting to complain
about the petrol bills!
