I shall give this a try - many thanks! Since fitiing mine I’ve struggled to get the mixture correct. Dry sooty plugs which fail after about an hour’s driving. Present set up is 50F9 idle, 120 main, F2 emulsion, and curiously enough,185 air corrector on the left (the side that fails first) and 190 on...
