flooding stromberg's
Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2023 5:32 pm
Hi All,
I have stromberg 175 CD 2’s from a Land Rover on my S4 elan and they have the jet/needle adjustment at the bottom of the float.
I/m just completing a restoration of the whole car and have had the engine running and set up the carbs.
They are fed with an electric fuel pump (3-5 psi) and regulated down to 2psi (which I have checked with a gauge which I have let run for several minutes and it has remained at 2psi).
I have refurbed the carbs and set the floats to between 16-17 mm.
If I leave the ignition on the carbs flood and fill the engine cylinders with fuel.
I have checked everything over and over and can't find why the fuel will not shut off.
The floats are not full of fuel.
The fuel shuts off when I have removed the bowl and used my finger to lift the float.
I'm at the end of what I can do - can anyone help please?
Mark.
