Pete Lewis Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 there can be spindle variations across the years of evolution, depends how the cable/rod/ whatever are connected cdse have the top dashpot adjuster which is never the easiest to adjust could have temp compensators which need to be closed , most are open due to age.and these need setting/closing do have a biased needle which gives better atomisation from the needle . cd you really want the CDS ones with a starting valve choke ( as is fitted to the cdse) early base CD can have the (thames barrier) which can get a bit siezed but cant leak fuel as no fueling is involved. you can use a mix of biased needle pistons in a base CD with bottom adjuster...best of both worlds cdse has more add ons to go out of adjustment, the top adjuster was to make things tamperproof as a requirement in emmission laws of the late 70 /80s doesnt mean it was a good idea, just stopped you messing , ( and applied to most manufacturer's) overall it could be a reasonable move for DIY twiddling Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
