i found a stromberg carby somewhere, cleaned it up and installed it, i could not believe the perforce increase from when i started it up, she puled away quicker and more responsive, i could not believe how good it was, so one day i thought i'll put the zenith back on, took it down the road oh that was terrible she was crap.
so back on with the stromberg, i dont have any problems with hills, i do have a facet fuel pump installed, and since i had had the stromberg carby fitted, Have never used the choke to start the engine, and so i have not got the choke connected up at all.
three pumps of the throttle and a quick push of the starter button and she fires up.
electric fuel pump is really great on them, i have the pump on the seat base beside the tank and have a toggle switch on the dash, which doubles as a security measure, as none of my switches are labeled as i know what they all do. i believe never label anything and if some went to steal the landy they would get confused and just walk away.
