    Really glad you decided to full send this series! I like the fact you're learning as you go! There's something deeply satisfying about stripping down mechanical tech, cleaning it up and trying to figure out how the components operate and making it good as new again - great work!

    In all the years messing with carburetters I never had one apart to this extent. I only went as far as I needed to to fix the fault. You may want to purchase two Gunson Colour Tunes that allow you to seen the combustion colour. I say two because that carb is split in two. The two solinoids are anti run on valves, back in the day it was not uncommon for your engine to keep kind of running after turning it off "dieseling".

    The best of luck I really do hope it works. We'll done for completing the refurbishment of the carburettor. Like I said in last video when I had a5 series 2.5 the solex carburettor was toast so was told to fot mini electric pump. Worked for me 😆

    Great video George, l enjoyed seeing the carb disassembled and this takes me back to the days of servicing my favourite carburettor, the twin choke Weber. It's very satisfying to refurbish and re-install the finished job. The engine will fire up and should run nicely. Well done with this latest project. 😊

    Great work George, not the simplest carburettor to work on for your first one but you nailed it.
    Good luck on your next day's work on the car

    Get yourself an Ultrasonic cleaner, they work wonders on carb bits.

      Hi George
      The part what the missing rod connects to on your carb is seized and not operating freely like yours
      Could you tell me what the diaphragm part is called and if I can get a replacement.
      I spoke to classic carbs great guy but he can’t help
      Thanks
