Iv fitted a brand new SU carb to my Toledo, should have just bolted on and fired up normally but not so..
I can get the car up idle normally off the choke but when i press the throttle it all starts to splutter and the piston in the carb drops, I'm certain its an air leak as if i put my had over 75% of the air intake then the car will rev up as normal. Iv since had it apart and cant seem to find where it might be coming from, its not where the filter bolts on and it isnt from where it bolts onto the manifold either. Its definitely in the main body of the carb somewhere as iv since swapped it for an old body and it lets the car rev no bother. Id leave the old body on only it has the wrong size waxstat jet and the new body which isnt working has the older type fixed jet on.
anyone had this sort of problem before?? all i seem to be able to come up with is that its leaking somewhere from where the choke linkage is bolted in? but i cant seem to feel or hear anything.
help!
