Nice work Dan

would it be possible to put me down for 1

Cheers

2 please!

should be ready by the end of the week hopefully!

Fantastic... I might have three of you if available.

any mention of cost yet? :) also are you good for paypal? I can do cash/cheque too obviously.

they'll be cheap i can guarantee that - just postage will do!!

and yes i can take paypal

Okay so i've finally managed to get these laser cut, as I mentioned previously they are from S/S 316L20SWG instead of the current 21SWG but its fairly close so I am willing to try it in my carb

Cool, heard there was one on my desk. cheers for that. best get my arse into gear and rebuild the carb, still havent got it cleaned yet...!!

Don't forget to add spacers (washers or whatever) under the spring when installing this, otherwise your (NON) bi-met assembly will wobble about.

Holders received Dan, look excellent. Will build into carb this week and take pictures when I do.

no probs tom, keep us posted on the build..

Hi,
Are there any left? If so can I have one please?
Cheers,
Gavin. :)

If there is gonna be any more of these in the future i will take a couple!!

sorry folks but these have all gone for the time being, might be able to get some more done, but not sure when, its not easy getting stuff on the laser cutter!

if you ever do any more i'll have two

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

I'm dragging this one up from the depths!

My rally car is N/A and running twin HIF4 carbs (twin 1.5" as fitted to MGBs, Allegros etc).
Whenever I get it really hot, ie straight off the motorway from flat out or having done a special test all in 1st gear the idle speed drops considerably from around 1150 to 750 is and it is a bugger to get going from a standstill. After a while of gentle driving it returns to normal.

One theory is that this bi-metallic jet holder is causing me a problem. The other is that icing at WOT is causing me a problem.

Thoughts of the learned members of the forum? Or anyone who has a theory!!


If it helps the engine is running a 'slightly' lumpy RE13OT cam and the carbs are on a steel Maniflow manifold.

Well, carb icing is obvious by feeling the carb body; when they 'ice' the whole body is very cold (don't expect to see icy frosting however - it's not often that obvious.
It will likelly be 'cool' but very cold is suggesting icing - from my limited experience of this...

So far I've not been in a position to get out and whip the bonnet off fast enough before the problem has 'cured' itself.

Well, get some 1/2" water hose, and (temporarilly) wrap it around the dashpots, then connect up to your heater tap, see if that helps?

by the time its plumbed in the cold snaps over! ...............

Any chance theres any pictures of these?
Might try and make one this weekend as I'm rebuilding my carb

By the looks of things it’s been there for 14 years-yikes!

Cheers NIC.
