thanks for all that info.
I got it sorted and wound it open about 2- 21/2 turns to be on safer side as its not a driver yet and before it gets on road it will be at my mechanic anyway to RWC and tune her properly.

Just doing brakes etc first.

Doh I'm such a dumbass sometimes

The screw is fine, i simply was not screwing it in enough. I didn't want to force it so stopped when it started to feel tight, then backed it off 1-2 turns, however i should have kept going as it screwed in a lot more then came to a complete hard stop.
So its all ...

thanks
I fitted it just before carby as had a spot for it there and in my last old 1940 chevy truck project I had it before the pump and it still kept clogging the needle/seat from crap in the old fuel lines. So this time put it just before carby.

thanks all good its not even rego'd yet.

I will have a look at it tomorrow as there did not appear to be any washer etc but I may find one in the kit if im lucky.

it comes out 1 turn before leaking out the shaft part

Ah thanks ill give that a try. I just started her up after doing the kit and runs really nicely but i noticed a very slow drip out that mixture screw when out 1-2 turns. Is there a 'goo' that could be used in the thread? That still allows adjustment?

so what does it do and how do I adjust it?

anyone know what this part is in the bottom of my carby.
As far as I know its a stock FB standard.
I just put a kit in carby and my manual and the kit dont explain this part.
It screws in and out with a needle tip like the air/fuel mix screw but it is in bottom of fuel bowl??

thanks

Yeah I'm really hoping to keep it for now its just the $$ with 3 projects lol

Ill give her a tidy up, finish brakes and see how she goes once all sorted, she seems to have a smoother, nicer sounding motor than my old FC i used to have. Just doing a carby clean out too and going to fit a fuel filter ...

Hi,
I have this awesome old girl and she is thankfully pretty rust free. Just a little in some common areas, but overall she is a beauty that has sat in West Qld here for some years before I got her.
She is a 215 plate and the engine purrs.
So far everything seems to work on her but I had a stuck ...

Hi
Been doing some searching and I'm a bit worried about hitting king pins etc but i have a stock FB and looking at some 13x6 mags with a 3 5/8 inch backspace. Will they hit? Would 14x7 of similar backspace have more clearance?
Thanks jas
