Hi,
New to this form but I’m hoping that someone can help or at least shed some light. I inherited my 1935 Opel a rebuild with my late grandfather always ran smooth and never missed a beat. I started having curling issues and she just required a new lift pump, once fitted she starts and runs but appears to be over fuelling the carb and leaking fuel from the small overflow hole.
I’ve Stripped the carb (solex 26aic) and the inlet valve was stuck... great easy fix.. or so I thought. Started and ran well however still over fuelling and leaking. The inlet valve. Is a 2.0, i was thinking of looking to reduce it to a 1.5 if I can find one. I know the lift pump is correct bought from the Austin soares and checked so the problem must be the inlet valve right?
Any thoughts and ideas are welcome, coz it’s driving me mad not having her running
Thanks steve
