Hi again all.
Rebuilding the carb has got the car running but it smells very rich.
When cold if i crank the engine the engine fires immediately but if i even touch the throttle it will die. Pulling the choke out causes the engine not to start at all.
It appears to me that the engine is running to rich as additional choke (richening the mixture) causes it to not start and when cold any throttle causes it to stall.
I have replaced all the breather hoses and checked the restrictor so that is all ok (i reused the inlet gasket though). Can anybody suggest where the mixture screw is? I believe its 1 1/2 turns from bottomed out is about right. I will also smear a dab of hylomar on the intake gasket.
Any thoughts??
Best
