took the carbs up to be sonic cleaned at lunch time,got a call from pete the mechanic saying he did`nt think the carbs needed the sonic clean as they were clean already,he did however notice a small brass needle guide was missing on no 1 carb i must have dislodged it when i cleaned them out myself it sits in the bottom half of the carb acting as a guide for the needle,without it petrol is just going to flood in....pete described it as pi**ing in a bucket...good description....i could have solved the stutter by cleaning the carbs but created another by loosing the guide,the part is available from yam at £25 +vat :eek ....i`ve had a look on the garage floor but cant find it,bit like needle in a haystack ,i`ll get pete to order it in the morning might get here by friday..........
One, is never going to be enough.....
