What have you done today with your Austin Seven

[Steve kay]

   

Instead of the usual, granny had one, first car, does it do a hundred miles an hour, the question at the car park was, is your car leaking a bit? to which the answer was, it does rather seem to be. Have not has carb  problems for some considerable time, so first of all bowl off, float still floating and no sign of filling up, needle valve stops flow of petrol when the finger is on the valve and the pump lever is operated. So carb off, check for bits and take out and check jets.  Reassemble, and as pictured, still lots of flow from the bleed hole on the top of the carb. Evidently too much fuel somewhere, as otherwise it seems to perform correctly, tickover all right, choke can be closed fairly soon on a warm afternoon, no spluttering. Recommendations as to the next course of action?
