So some weeks ago I sent my HIF6s off to be refurbished. It has taken somewhat longer than I had hoped, due to circumstances beyond the control of the chap doing the work. He encountered a mysterious obstruction in a choke passageway in the body of one of the carbs. Repeated sessions in the ultrasound washer wouldn't shift it, and the bore was too small for him to be able to fit his endoscope down in there to take a look. He resorted to a mild acid solution, and that seems to have done the trick. Imagine my dismay when he told me it was "a bit of lead shoved down in there"!!! Gulp!
Anyway, I'm at a loss trying to figure out why somebody would do a bodge like that. Whilst I wait a little longer for the carbs to be reassembled and returned to me in tip top order, maybe somebody here has an inkling why that obstruction might have been inserted like that. I would welcome your insights.
