Stromberg ahead!

[LandyBen]

Hi all, have bought a second hand stromberg for the old girl (76' S3 109), put on with a bit of filing to the mounting holes, but works a treat, just have'nt sorted the the throttle linkage yet, am working on that as we speak, also, am welding up a dual wheel carrier for the rear, it's a 'swinging gate' style arrangement, both sides, should have some pics soon, watch this space. Take care on the roads, it's slippery out there! :)

Good stuff Ben.
Has it got the vairiable main jet??? If not get one as you can fine tune better.
Make sure you get some good instructions on tuning,when I had mine I had it too lean and ended up burning an exhaust valve.
Goodluck
Andrew

Hi LandyAndy, will pick up variable main jet this week, and your right about burning a valve, I thought it was running a bit rough a couple of months ago, took the head off, and yes,a burnt valve, it had also perished the head gasket between the pushrod gallery, and started to burn oil, causing a smoke screen James Bond would be proud of! Alls well now though, cheers, Ben.:)
