Thumbs up Flooding ...... Solved it !!

Hi Guys

Thought I'd ad a thread as I only found one previous thread for a flooding problem which was not concluded.
My Race steelie (96 FT) was consistantly flooding... had cleaned out the carbs many times and the problem kept coming back, in the end I changed the four float jets and all is good in the hood again .. Racing next weekend so Happy Days .. might even post some pics

The little alloy jets that clip to the bottom of the plastic floats and close
the opening into the float bowl ..... They look like mini pencils !!
