  1. Stick with a local busy rolling road!     Make sure they can sort carbs- many can't - I've spent good money & not been happy.

    as above wait for a cancelled booking - if they are busy they are good!!!

    Dont look at other cars with carbs because they are heavier & go 'on throttle' a lot more than our little light cars. So their settings won't help.

    a rolling road will help iron out flat spots & sort out mixture etc- she"ll be fine afterwards

     

     

  2. Ignore the 'new carb ' jets- they put standard jets in new carbs which are useless to most applications- stay with what you got & start from there- 

    also look up mk1 & mk2 xflow carb jet settings this might help.

  3. I had so much trouble with carbs over the years I ditched the whole lot & went TB & injection.

    now when I drive it I get no issues- bloody fantastic.

    when (Mr Weber) tells you it takes 95% to getting close but takes a lot longer to get it right- I threw the towel in.

    i shall have a look into my old set up & let you know.

    have you tried adjusting (on idle) the mixture screws till the engine note is at it's highest?

    this seemed to get it about right for me
