Despite having rebuilt my carburettor recently, I have discovered that one problem that i hvae been unable to cure is the fact that the carb leaks from the beak when the engine is switched off. Conventional wisdom states that the float chamber level should be at the same level as the beak and that engine suction lifts the fuel from the beak into the airflow. However, if I arrange things so that the carb doesn't leak from the beak, the carburation has more flat spots that a threepenny bit!
The trusty Colourtune still shows it running rich, but the little car is doing mid thirties to the gallon which isn't too bad living in the mountains. I think I can live with priming the carb in the mornings.
