I was able to spend some good time on my project during x-mas -- restoring a 64 Sprite that hasn't run in < 20 yrs. Replaced Tank, fuel line & added new electronic fuel pump. Also rebuilt both carbs with new gaskets / springs / rubber items where required. Car is in FLA and I am in OH and simply ran out of time to finish.
The next "step" is to run the power to the fuel pump & put the carbs on the car and adjust. From past links - I am aware of the need to put a "steel plate" to cover up the hole on the old placement. Run the power in "reverse" (Positive ground) -- pump is SU Pos & Neg from World Wide Auto. As for the SU Carbs .........
Any comments on the SU Carb's ?? I had the jets completely apart and replaced needles, jet's, and anything that was gasket or spring related. Also soaked in parts cleaner to get the "sludge" (formerly gasoline) off. How difficult is it. Any reading someone could recommend would be appreciated.
