It would seem that the left hand carb (as you�re looking into the engine compartment of a 1500s) is flooding cylinders 3 & 4 and they are consequently not firing on tick over. However, when driving normally there does not appear to be a problem and the car runs fine without any hesitation.

I�ve checked that it�s firing and I�ve set the timing points and redone the valve clearances and am pretty confident that it�s flooding that is my problem as No4 plug is wet and smells of fuel also the car smokes ones you blip the throttle after it�s ticked over for a second or so (I�ve assuming this is the unburnt fuel simply being expelled. You can actually remove HT leads 3 & 4 and the engine sounds no different.

I�ve rebuilt both carbs and I guess I could have messed up somewhere along the lines but both were done the same.

What�s your advice? Have you ever experienced anything similar?

I heard that these carbs are still available new from Mexico or Brazil but I may have dreamt it�failing that would you have one that�s ok?

Keep smilin

Oh any sign of that tow bar? (Waiting for a sill as well but no rush as the car needs to run first : )
