thx for the words guys
i hope that we are going to find the problem of the loss of power when we drive
no one 've an idea about that
iginition is good , plugs wires give the power to the spark plugs , the engine turn well when he does'nt drive and we're on the road he sound like of an engine which turns on 3 cylinders
When I moved the engine, I moved the linkage without touching the regulation of this one, nor in regulations of carburettors
keith can you help me
i suppose that you know the sprintkit , you're mr speedwell in england
thx

With those tires, it wouldn´t hurt with a 2-3cm lowering in the rear. IMVHO.

allright, so i have been asked to help out with the brakes and that went good. JS is right it will need to be a bit lower at the rear, but the car has to settle first, allthough i doubt it will drop enough to get the stance just right.
but the biggest issue was indeed the engine.
i am not sure how sensitive these sprintkits are, but the engine wasn't happy, that is for sure. like fabs said the engine was turning OK at idle but as soon as you got going the car bogged and lost all power. it felt like a plugged idle jet or a distributor that was incorrectly set, but i havent any clue on how to adjust those britisch carbs. i have got some info from Fabs but part off it was missing (speedwell fitting instructions and they refer to pamlphlet G 66/SB211 which i haven't found and makes things even worse. so any help on these carbs is welcome)
we tried to set the distributor right, but that didn't change anything the lack off power under load stayed. i wish i could have worked on the engine longer, but i had other things to do, so hopefully your input can help Fabs out.

Sounds very much like an air leak guys - I know there are a number of "sealing" surfaces involved in these kits/manifolds - Just a thought guys

I also have think about air leaks and try to locate it by spraying "start Pilote" where the carbs seals on the manifold and don't notice an idle variation.
Engine start easily and idle well but revs lazily.

today i change the 4 spark plugs , and the spark plugs wire , the belt , I adjusted again valves and ignition
and With j-f we defused(unsettled) a stromberg (the right one) to blow him with the compressed air, then we went back up him and there....... no difference
except that the carbs on the right (the one we defused) seems to work correctly , and now the problem seems to come from the left carbs , of or I am going to defuse him and to blow him with the compressed air and to go back up him and if it does not work, I shall appeal to a knowledge which is specialized in the English cars and the English carburators
no one have a idea

Why only "service" or "defuse" ONE carb
I would have just serviced the PAIR just to be on the safe side
I still think it sounds like an air leak
OR it might be worth checking the fuel pump - your one can be disassembled and "serviced" OR "defused"

Fuel comes correctly, there is a clear filter and you see that it flows regularly.
We serviced just one because it became late and were hopping for an improvement. Bad luck
I'm also more thinking about an air leak. The right carb makes a "good" noise, but the left carb makes a different one.

I would suggest removing both carbs, manifolds, balance tube etc - Clean ALL sealing surfaces (also clean out the left carb properly) then refit everything with a SMALL amount of silicon sealant

That's the way we will take.
Today, some people also suggest to check a leak at the fuel pump.
I also wonder how to check the float level on this carbs? Needle valves are 1.5 but I don't know how to check if the carbs have the same float level? Same method as weber? And which height?
For the sealant I normally use a stick, like that.
