Hi All I have a P6 2000 Sc with a Su Carb
I noticed a fuel weep coming from the Su bowl it would come and go so I changed the gasket and it was still coming and going.
I was trying to adjust the mixture but found the car would just not run right at all and on start up it sometimes ran perfectly but as soon as
it got warmed up it would misfire no matter what I did to the mixture it would not come right and the plugs are going black like its running far to rich.
I have New Dizzy Cap, Arm, New HT Leads New Coil New Plugs and New Electric Ignition so I know that side of the car should be fine.
Going back to the leak from the float bowl I was thinking along the lines that it was over fuelling so I bought a New stay up float and needle and seat and gasket
from SU Carbs so good parts, I have fitted everything and adjusted the float the best I can, I started the car and thought I can smell fuel No joke there I had to turn the car off quickly its poring out when running I think its coming from out the breather whole, the leak is worse with the new parts then the old lol , I have taken it apart now three times and adjusted the arm on the float closer to the float lid, but it makes no diffidence should I adjust it so it sits lower in the float bowl?
Thank you one and all
