3059F on Stromberg 150CD ?

Thanks Wayne, no have not fixed it finally. Found the cause on housing crack and worn needle-seat on the "R". Have done a workaround with a seat assembly from a Rapier '71 for the R carb.
SS is out of stock for rebuild kits, but promised me to deliver soon
Are F and R carbs not interchangable? I have an offer from Midland for 2 carbs stamped with 3059F, £30 ($60) each. Will I be able to convert a F to an R ?

Conversion is possible; difference is in length of throttle shaft and related linkage (F and R carbs differ). Are you dealing with 150 CD, 150 CDS, or 150 CDSE carbs? Have all three varieties on this side of the pond. 150CDSE's are typical to 69/71 Alpine GT/Rapier; slower on the throttle return than 150 CD's, however. Price sounds reasonable; comparible to recent ebay sets.

They are 150CD. I had a close look at them. The housing looks the same, apart from the vaccum connector for the ignition advance on the R. I think it should be possible to convert a F<>R with changing the shafts and gear also.
The Rapier had a bras jet assembly, the alpine's are aluminium, but look exactly the same.
The jet is stamped with O6 (6O) or 9O. The needle size and spring I did not figure out.
On the alpines carbs are three stamps on the flange : "B" and "3059F/R" and "E66" . Are these on yours too?

Another difference between the front and rear carbs is the location of the fuel inlet. If you use a rear carb on the front you will have to modify your fuel plumbing. Not a big problem I suppose.
The springs are identified by the colour they are painted. i have seen reference to red, blue, grey and unpainted. Here in AU the single carb Hillman Hunter used one colour spring and the twin carb used another.
