Hi gents. Two Q's on this subject.
1.
I have looked at two or three books over the last couple of days and none of them show a washer on the inlet union that goes through inlet filter. on the float bowl. So query this.
My rebuilt A65 is running seriously rich.(Black plugs after only 2or three minutes running). So I have a washer fitted, would this washer alter the off position of the float enough to cause a continuous minor flood. By which I mean does this situation allow the float to ride higher because of the altered depth of the inlet union.
If no washer, how do I seal it
It starts easily, but runs black and very lumpy as you would expect from this condition. If I turn the fuel off and let it run out the last few seconds are sweet and very smooth.
Anything else you can think of that might be the problem. It has all new jets and needles etc direct from Amal.
