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.

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. > While I'm at it, are there any precautions/tips that I should be > aware of? Other than overtorquing them, and setting the level properly, I don't think there are any precautions required. -- Play it cool; play it cool; fifty-fifty fire and ice -- Joni Mitchell David L.
