Hi All,
Having rebuilt my HD6 carbs and fitted them back on my Healey a couple of things have come to light.
Firstly, my carb set up utlilises two black plastic spacers on each carb (one between the manifold and heat shield and one between the heat shield and carb body). Unfortunately I only noticed this after refitting the carbs while looking at some photos in one of my books. Should I take everything of a remove one of the spacers or just leave well alone (I assume a PO had put two spacers on for good reason).
Secondly, I notice that after I switch off the engine after a run I can see a few drips of fuel/air mixture dripping from the rear underside end of the inlet manifold onto the hot exhaust manifold, where they turn to steam. The drips stop after about 4-6 drips. Should I be worried? What does the underside of the manifold look like. With my fingers I can feel something like screws or bolts.
Any advice?
Thanks
Phil
