Stromberg choke assembly gasket

[Jeff]

You may be pleased to know that a gasket is available for the choke disc valve assembly on the Stromberg CD150 as fitted to the Vitesse.

Originally, the seal relied on a metal to metal mate, but they often leak, as did mine, and I was fed up with fuel dripping onto the newly painted chassis.

I have made a gasket, shown below, but enquired at Burlen's and they do in fact stock one.

I also obtained a new choke spindle and bush as they were quite sloppy, so that should improve cold starting. 

What a great company, true expertise.

Thanks for posting on this subject. It prompted me to consider the longstanding weep on the starter box of my 175 CD2.

Turns out I already have several of the gaskets in the refurb kits and parts kits lurking in the spares drawer....who knew!

A little job for the winter me thinks.
