Carb - pump jet

Two posts in one day, but separate topic. Again, dedicated lunch to Amy, not through choice. My normal lunchtime company was busy elsewhere, so wasn't going to go to the pub anyway. Decided to look at the carb, because at the moment that seems to be the only trouble.

Issue was huge flat spots, causing the car to stall occasionally, especially when cold, making other issues worse.

Had a fair idea that the flat spot issue was most likely the pump jet, so finally took that out and had a look.

Sure enough - well bunged up. Could not blow it through myself, eventually cleared out with the trusty football pump and refitted. All seems fine. Gaskets (Emulsion Block and Bowl) are ropey, but can get that sorted out if a big problem.
