Stromberg CD 150 CDSE auxiliary Jet

[bowen1650]

Can someone please tell me what the red arrow in the attached picture is pointing to.  I would like to replace it, but don't know what it's called and haven't been able to find anything that might describe it in a parts diagram.  

 

 

Thanks

From the back of the memory this is the supply to the starting valve (choke )

Have a look at www.buckeyetriumph.org good details about strombergs

 

while you have them stripped check the seal 0 rings on the temperature compensators and turn the nut to

close the plunger , it needs to stay closed for normal temperatures and only bleed air when getting too hot

 

if its open at normal you cant set the idle or mixture due to the confinual air bleed past the throttle

 

so if in doubt its better these are always shut its a emmission device to weaken mixture when very hot

so get them closed

Hi Pete,

Apologies for jumping into this thread. I have these compensators on my Strombergs, could you point me in the direction to instructions on how to close them please.

Thanks & Regards, Ken

Ken, like wot Pete said www.buckeyetriumph.org will tell you all you need to know. Even if you close the plunger the O rings may still be leaking, so first replace them. The TCs can be taken off the carbs without interfering with the plungers or the TC internals, so replace the O rings and see what difference that makes.

OK Thanks....

you can remove the darn thing completely and cork the port up for good.

 

 

take it off  just two screws , remove the plastic cover (two screws)   you will see in the boss at the end is a plastic plunger  

 

tickle it and see if its open allowing air through

 

to close it just screw the small nut down its post to add load to the bimetal spring and seat the plunger 

 

i dontt care how much but get it closed 

 

the O rings seal the device to the carb and as Doug says if these are shot then air is dragged in where you dont want it

 

 

there;s little point in getting all techy about them, yes there is a controlled method but for most of our needs   shut means shut

OK Thanks Pete. The rubber o ring seals are new so I intend to shut the valves permanently...cheers

Thank you for your help.   The site is actually www.buckeyetriumphs.org but I'm sure you have figured that out.

I read the other day the French are 20 times more likely to use a suppository than the British. Makes you think.   

[Pete Lewis]

I do worry about what you read
