Feckin carb

Ok, just rebuilt my Weber carb on my 2.25 petrol series 3. Had a slight burble and blip like it was looking for fuel before. Rebuilt the carb and it is now running a lot smoother......however, what a lot of black smoke it is now spewing out!

Any hints on trying to alleviate this?

Choke stuck or mixture, possibly something to do with how you've rebuilt it.

Did you reassemble it with dirty, oily fingers?

All went together with clean gloved hands as per the instuctions. Wondering if a decent run might help clear it out?

There's nothing to lose in giving it a good run. Despite how meticulously clean you try to keep everything, muck always manages to make an appearance, well, it does when I do anything. Good luck.

So, still nt get the Weber to settle down.running like a bag of spanners with black smoke belching out the back. Taken the weber off and stripped and cleaned again. I will stick it back on and see what happens. In the meantime I have dug out the old Zenith carb and will strip and rebuild that if I cant get the Weber to settle down.
