Can you tell me what jets you fitted, please?
Hello Ruairidh - just the standard jets:
Main 75
Slow running 50
Air cap 150
Choke tube 14mm
I had a well-used one on the car in the 1960s and 1970s and, like yours, it would do from 40 to 50 mpg.
The new carb gives much the same.

The new carb gives much the same consumption, starts instantly, idles at 2 r.p.m. with the transition from tick-over to power is entirely smooth.
The only drawback? They really don't look the part!
