Lionel if your putting a kit through the carby it is also advisable to hone the top cover on a piece emery or wet n dry paper sitting on a piece of glass. The tops are prone to warping and allowing air to be suck in, you wont get it running perfect if the top is warped. Honing them is easy and takes only a few minutes to do.
Secondly you can run an engine at idle with top removed from a Stromy to check the fuel level and make sure the needle and seat are not leaking, you just need a small tab of cardboard to place over the air venturi to make it run even. But don't rev the ring out of the engine whilst doing this or you might get fuel spillage onto the manifold.
With a kit through them and in good tune, which is easy to do, they are a trouble free carby.
Cheers, Mick.
