Re: carb question

I had the same problem with one of my rebuilt SU's this past spring.  I did 
centre the needle but the jet still would not return all the way once the 
choke was released.  On the advice of my local lbc mechanic, I removed the 
jet and very lightly sanded it with 1000 grit sand paper.  I would run the 
sand paper around the circumference of the jet, clean, and re-insert to test 
the movement of the jet.  It took a couple of passes with the sand paper to 
get the jet to smoothly move in and out without sticking.

Subject: carb question
Recently when i start up the Spitfire, the jet on the bottom of one of
the
Carbs sticks.  It will stay down after i release the choke cable.  Does
this
make any sense?  Any quick fixes for this?  Any suggestions?
Thanks,
 Dave
