Hi,
I am using a Zenith 26VF down draught carburettor on my special. The carburettor is the smaller of the two Ford used on the Popular range and is in good overall condition. It runs well at top end revs, with nice, clean plugs etc. However it has a slight flat spot when accelerating from stationary. I am unable to clear this through normal adjustment. The jets are I believe are the standard Ford jets main,70 comp 65, slow 60. I have tried, with no success, the standard Austin 26 VA jets. I believe this carb change was a mod used on A7s many years ago, does anyone have any experience of using this carb and what jet sizes were used.
