I've acquired a 3A which has sat for a long time - the carburetors are in very good shape but they were sitting for so long the floats had to be unstuck from the bowls when I did the first startup in about 4 years.
The car is running, but I find I can't lower the jets via the choke cable, and if I pull the jets down by hand they don't want to retract. I've not had H6 carbs before - can I carefully pull the jets out and clean everything, or in doing so will I damage the cork seals? Any thoughts on trying to lubricate the assembly without pulling everything apart?
