Bulldog Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 http://nzgem.proboards51.com/index.cgi?board=tech&action=display&thread=1196729031 See above for full story. I have a stromgberg carb that's spilling gas out a brass / copper pipe which has a hole through it. It may be an overflow. Carbs have been in storage for years although were tuned before storage.

CaMpylobacter Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 haha sprung, by a girl even :P agree with dudes on there though. float/neele valve will have poos in it, holding it open. jsut tear that shit to bits and clean 'er all up. if it persists, possbily look at dropping float level a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxsumo Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Check the needle valve and the floats are actually moving, and do actually float (no holes). Take the tops off and check the diaphrams, sitting for a while with gas in the carbbie can destroy the diaphram. At the same time check the needle is straight and has no wear. A lot of the Stromberg parts are getting hard to come by and if the needle or valve are worn, that carbs will never work out that well. Personally I'd be looking for a pair of SUs, the Stromberg isnt really a performance carby, it has no accelarator pump, so you dont get a quick throttle response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Thanks everyone. As I suspected it was the float. More to the point the circlip holding the float hinge in place had gone awol. Put a new one in and it's all good. Cept for the part where the heater pipe coming out of the head snapped off from the head It was getting old and was under some pressure due to the new inlet being really close to it. That'll learn me. Now I have to remove what's left in the head (god knows how) tried screwedrive and hammer to see if I could it started but no go. Any good tools or methods would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
