I'd like to overhaul the carb on my 1600 Xflow as I have no idea what condition it is in (also gives me something to tinker with!). Anyone done this and can recommend an overhaul kit. There seem to be loads of them at greatly varying prices.
The car seems a little sluggish. Ignition seems accurate and stable , has new leads and plugs so thought I'd look at the fuel side as that is a bit of an unknown at the moment.
A soulmate. I too cant resist the temptaion to take things to bits whether really needed or not. I once took a head off my old Stag just to see the state of the bores even though it wasnt using oil. A week or two later ( I wont go into the reasons) I had all the front suspension off and the sump dropped. There was nothing wrong of course.
On the same car I couldnt resist taking the auto gearbox to bits to see how it worked. And surprisingly, it still did work when I put it back together.
I reckon its inherited disease. My father left me lots of little pots of watch bits where he had taken them to pieces - he wasnt that good at the reverse operation.
