Stromberg Travails


Recommended Posts

I’m fighting the rear Stromberg. It floods but not until the engine has been running for 5 minutes. The carbs were rebuilt about 4 years ago. It’s not the grose valve, not the floats nor their settings, needle and piston ok. Anyone experienced this? JJC

They had a bad reputation a few years ago but I thought they had been redesigned to cure the problem so maybe you had an old stock one.

Yes and went back to SU GSU102 needle and seat assy.  One Grose jet caused flooding oF the float chamber.

That was 15 years ago.

Memories, memories. I remember a certain Peter W stating some 50 years ago, that if we liked cars from the fifties they didn’t have to smell like one and he could provide the solution, Grose jets!

I succombed to his excellent sales patter and fitted them to my 3A. They have never leaked
