S4 Stromberg Confusion
Posted: Thu May 08, 2014 7:56 pm
I put the car back on the road today, Mot done, Insurance done Etc, however the engine seems to be running very rich. Removed the Carb tops and decided to check on the Needle settings but that is where the confusion starts !!.
I punched out both Needles with their holders, they are both Spring Loaded in a small Brass Body held into the Pistons with Grub Screws and each Brass Body has a small Cap Screw on the top which can be accessed through the piston body but the confusion is, should these Screws "adjust" the height of the Needle or are they just there to Cap off the Needle Housing, as it does not matter if they are screwed in or out, they do not touch the needle nor do they appear to come into contact with it at any time, is there something missing ???
