thanks Tom, i will aim for something like 27mm and report back the necessary plastic float height. kind regards, Laurent

Hi Peter, Thanks, very interesting reading, i can see the 8.5mm for a brass floater. This is the number i wanted to check for the plastic one, i could find 14mm in some places. If you lower that number, you make the fuel level higher by the same amount. When you say a TR engine requires the float set lower you mean the fuel level? kind regards, Laurent

Good morning, i own a TR4 A that came with Webers. I had the engine and the carbs rebuilt and everything runs as it should except 2 small issues. 1 - idle goes up to 1500rpm from time to time (suspect some fuel find its way at idle) 2 - after the last run (i have maybe 250 miles post rebuilt - weather was quite hot Saturday like 26 degrees) i did hear the infamous pcchht of fuel hitting a hot object after shutting down the engine, and did see that the front carbs was leaking at the inlet manifold for a minute or 2, no big leak just a drop every 5 seconds. I suspect fuel he

i guess the one tat the bottom is coming from Speedograph, i bought it a while ago. I still have a spare original Smith one. I need to decide which one i sacrifice first.....

Hi Richard, this probably does not help a lot but maybe someone will jump in to give the right info. As you i struggle with angle drives, I’m on the 3rd one in 3000 miles. 2 failed and i suspect the third one is on its way out because the speed is too low by 20%. I do have a new one that looks like a square box, i will take a picture tomorrow. I do not recall where i bought it, but it was expensive and supposed to be The solution. the 3 I had failed were ordered by my mechanic, so i suspect they come from Moss or Rimmer. cheers, Laurent
