So my H1 SU carbs were giving me a lot of trouble.
If I pushed the choke all the way in then the front carb would dump raw gas all over the place and they were not adjustable at all - at one point the car would run, but that was not good at all.
So last Wednesday I took it over to BillM's and we disassembled the carbs. The we cleaned them.
Big mistake! The crud was actually the only thing keeping them together.
We got them assembled and put on the car and after a while sort of got it running. Severely dumping gas.
I nursed it home.
Man am I glad I have a parts car!!!
I pulled the HS2's off of my MK1 Midget - they were pristine inside and operationally perfect.
I spent some time cleaning the intake manifold and carbs then installed them. I got everything hooked up and put in a nice new fuel filter and new soft lines and once all the cables were connected I turned the key. No leaks. Ok - turn to start - Va-Roommmm!!
The car has never ran this smoothly since I've owned it, likely for a lot of years before that!
Tomorrow I'll change the oil & filter and take a look at the plugs then take it for a spin!
