Good morning all,
Following my first SU thread about changing the needle in my Metro Turbo's SU, this has now been done thanks to the fantastic response from people on here.
Now, being cheeky, can I tap into that knowledge again? With the troublesome carb off I'm about to put the original back on. However, I've put a new float in it previously and while it all seems fine, do I need to set the float 'height' and how do I do it?
On another note, I found a replacement gasket for where the plenum meets the carb in the garage and figured I might as well do the job properly and replace the one that's on there. Any idea what's best for removing it? Scraping it won't be hard but thinking about softening it up first so not to overdo it and gouge out the metal face on the plenum. Petrol or thinners, maybe?
Sorry for the lack of knowledge but while I've professionally written about cars for many years, this is the first time I've really thought 'blow it, I can give it a go!" when it comes to sorting them out!
Any help, however small, is much appreciated.
