[list.british-cars] Grose Jets

Larry Gillam <gillam@hpfcpq.hp.com> (02/12/90)

        I'm building up my courage to rebuild the Zenith-Strombergs(to me
        black magic) on my '72 TR6. While I was at it I thought I'd try 
        the Grose Jets that I've seen in the catalogs. I'd like to know if 
        anybody has had any experience with these jets. Is it worth the 
        trouble? Has someone ONLY installed(not a rebuild)the jets and seen 
        a marked difference? 

        While I'm at it, are there any precautions/tips that I should be
        aware of? I'm having somebody who has done this before helping me,
        but I'd like to tap your expereinces as well. 

        
                                        Thanks,
                                                Larry

                                                Loveland, Colo.

	I've been using them in my MGB GT for about a year now.  They're
great improvements over the old rubber float valves.  They don't stick open
like the rubber ones.  However,  I have had one stick closed.  Insufficient
fuel pressure was certainly a contributing factor though.

	Other than overtorquing them,  and setting the level properly,  I
don't think there are any precautions required.

         Don't blame DRI.  They wouldn't approve of this anyway.
