got a bt7, and the bowl of the first carb is always lightly moist. is there something i can do? also i've seen these grose jet valves, is this a good replacement for my healey? or would you stay away from them?
 
The Grose-Jet float valves solved the fuel leaking trouble on my tri-carb. They are a fine product.

----- :iagree:

That should solve the problem in a hot minuet.---Keoke-- :laugh:
 
we shall see i'm waiting for next month. august in florida is unbearable but the healey driving eason is coming soon!
 
---Well if you put the jets in now and get the carbs all set up come September you will be good to go- :driving: -Keoke-- :wink:
 
i miss my norcal days from childhood when the healey could be used year round relatively comfortably not to mention my old man's downhill runs in the old girl. the healey will start getting the extended drives come october!! this and next month will be all the necessary prep work. still gotta bleed the brakes master yoda!
 
My Grose jets liked to stick in the closed position. My original needle valves liked to stick in the open position and pour fuel out of the overflow tubes. I replaced them with the Viton tip needle valves from Moss. Haven't stuck since.
