Hi Folks,
I was told that at one time there were multiple different metering needles that could be used in the CD150's - searching the net has not shown anything that details these options or better yet a source!
I continue to have issues getting my car to run well - the engine was completely rebuilt and opened up and stroked to about 1805cc and I have good even compression across all cylinders and seem to have good spark and fuel delivery - it runs better at low revs but seems to lose breath and becomes hesitant at higher revs - I have the mixture enriched to the point that one more 1/2 turn and the adjusting screw is ready to fall out and leaks!
I have tried checking for air leaks with carb cleaner sprayed into all the joints and spindles and used a vacuum gauge looking for odd behavior and everything seems ok - The spark plugs look as though the mixture is on the week side which is why I keep coming back to mixture.
I thought a richer needle might give me more options to play about!
Thanks
Gary
