Looks like I need to rebuild my carbs for the 1960 TR3A post 60,000 commission car.
I have rebuilt any number of carbs over the years but never any SU's. I would like some help in picking the right kit to buy and would appreciate any tips and suggestions about doing the job.
My carbs were professionally rebuilt by a company on Long Island, but I did a NO-NO by running the engine about 4 years ago and not running the engine empty of gas. It has been sitting for about 4 years and will not start. I have tried all of the normal items that cause a heart attack on engines BUT cleaning the carbs. Thought I might get away with just a spray cleaning but it didn't work out. Now it has to be a take apart cleaning, sigh...........
Anyhow what kind of kit do I need, bought from whom and any other thoughts and/or suggestions GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks, Dick
