CDS Rear Carb setting

Problem now solved so thanks for the advice.

For the benefit of anyone encountering a similar problem here's a summary:

Problem: CDSE150. Poor running. Colourtune showed extremely weak mixture to cylinder 6 with intermittent bursts of over rich running.

Result: Fuel needle valve probably sticking in the closed position. Thus replaced with a new item. Float height found the be incorrect (23mm in inverted position) corrected by bending tab to 17 - 18mm. Running now much improved with better colour on the Coloutrune; but still unstable at slow idle. Dashpot cover removed: Diaphragm found to be incorrectly seated in that tab on the diaphragm not located in the corresponding recess in the body, with potential to create an air leak. Diaphragm repositioned. Now runs wells with good slow idle. Solved.

This isn't the last of the work as I'm not sure that I have the most suitable needles and distributor set up. But that can wait until the car can have it's first road test.
