I have a zenith/stromberg in my MGB that looks identical to yours with the oil in the dash pot. It has a manual choke too. Check the oil weekly and fill as needed. Your needle valve is down in there too and you need a special tool to adjust it (lean or enrichen). Also, I strongly recomend that you get a spare one of these. http://www.englishparts.com/product...kwd=&origin=pla If that fails you are dead in the water (and they do fail), throw it in the glove box and forget about it. You can replace it with just a philips screwdriver. I really hate stromberg carbs. So much.

I have filled a lot of oil in stomberg carbs. Pretty much all i ever did was fill he cap of the quart oil bottle up and pour it in to around the bottom of the threads where the dashpot plunger screws in. Push the plunger back down slowly and wipe off any excess with a cloth.

Eh, Its british cars. I keep enough tools and spare parts in the trunk that I could fix drat near any problem on the side of the road. Might want to check the gap on your points (correct gap and clean) if you are having hard starting, easier than pulling apart the carb. I keep a spare set of points and condenser in the trunk as well, because british cars.

kimbo305 posted:I'll try to check it out this weekend. Dieseling. Up your octane. What are you using now? You have a relatively high compression engine. And the higher the octane the less likely for the fuel to detonate under compression alone (It will do this with no spark). Up your octane and you should be fine.

Before you start pulling poo poo apart, really, no poo poo, try a higher octane (That is what it is literary made for). I have worked with these carbs and I have worked with high compression engines. Always start with the easy fix first.
