Thread: Stromberg Carbs

I had the very same problem two days ago. No fuel squirt, looked like a blocked jet. Wouldn't kick over at all. My stromberg has been rebuilt not too long ago and I didn't want to do it again if I could help it. Went and got a can of $5 carbie cleaner and did what it instructed to do. Bingo! Started first pop. Driving really well now actually. It's a bit of a hard starter normally, but this morning started with no issues. May be worth spraying some of this around before stripping the carbie down?

have a friend with a chev V6 boat.
its electric choke so if it dont start first hit it wont--and the fuel pump operates of the alternator charge.fixing up for him and these are like the holden 6 and dont need to be that way.

he remarked that his elders in logging buisness instructed him to always adjust the carby mixtures so the exhaust glowed a certian colour and flames came out on over run--allways keep tow rope and tin of petrol for cold starts.
