late 70s i believe
I worked on them when they first came out and as said don't recall any Strombergs.

Think outside, no box required.
Have same sort of stuff in garage somewhere. It's a big untidy place these days.

But were the CD3 fitted to any LR V8...
maybe a time to “hand me down”
I know I am very unlikely to use it this day & age on any I own, but nice to have, if ever 1 comes along
. But the Suck gauge is still handy for the bikeTuning an engine manually and sound is a lost art

That is what i remember about them, but then again i have said it was a long time ago. As said i cannot remember working on a Classic fitted with Strombergs. I only recall SUs.

My memory is going to pot, I remember the bottom adjustment from those pictures and something similar on the SU.
The needle adjustment I was thinking about was done with little circlips fitted in grooves in the needle and I think must have been the Delorto carb on the F750 but could have been a motorbike carb.

When i first got the 101as a non-runner with the repair manual everytime i googled for LR V8 carbs only SU came up v,confusing at the time as it didnt match the manual
Never see a car carb using that method bikes do for sure.
For a tech nerd i like the old ways. Not completely lostmaybe a time to “hand me down”
