If you don't have a gauge. Take the dashpot off the carb and keep turnig the pressure down til fuel stops coming out of the jet.

Turn the pump off and clear the carb of any left over fuel then turn the pump on again to check it's not getting past the needle valve.

Not right now thanks am a bit busy. *happy*

However the above is correct, either get yourself a proper turbo dizzy, one of these 123-tune dizzies or even the tried and tested megajolt.

It also sounds like you have a few other problems to sort. Get a fuel pressure gauge and get that set correct.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

It will be, but you need to get the recipe right first. Once you go turbo, you won't be able to afford to look back
