![]() ![]() Pretty much the only other moving parts are the throttle flap you open when you press the throttle, the float and needle valve in the bowl so the carb doesn't overflow, the choke mechanism and in a Stromberg a bi metallic temperature compensator. Because the jet is tapered that enlarges the aperture through which the fuel flows. As the engine speeds up, and requires more fuel, the airflow caused the piston to rise. When the engine runs it sucks air over the top of the needle and puls fuel through it out of the jet. The jet is connected at the bottom to a fuel bowl. On the bottom of the piston there is a tapered needle. Under the cover on top of the carb there is a piston, the Strom has a diaphragm, the SU doesn't. The Stromberg and SU carbs are very similar in how they work. (For removal and refitting instructions, Section A refers). ![]() Jeez, if you think a carb needs timing you do need to do some reading Stromberg carburetter (Zenith type 175 CD-2S), to overhaul-Operation L1-3. I could just wait for him to get back but reading up on how it works is always good my dad and i did fill up the carb with ATF before he left for germany. I hear lots of terms on websites ect but they all kinda expect you to already know the basics so missing that wont get you far. A general manual on carbs how they work and how to set them would be great to start with im a bit clueless when i'm looking at that thing mounted on the manifold
