carbdoc Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Clincher,The short answer is "No, but . . ."You can have any competent machine shop which is used to working with small parts turn the needle tip and the seat orifce. This will make it work for a while.At my carburetor shop I replace the steel needle tip with a viton tip (requires "surgery")and recondition the seat as well which should last for about ten years, but only as part of a comprehensive functional and cosmetic restoration ($$$!). And yes, we are very familiar with the Stromberg OE series. If you feel that the needle valve is the sole culprit, I'd go the machine shop route for now. BTW, shake the float and see if it "sloshes"; if so, it has a leak and is part of your problem, too. I wish you luck, and feel free to PM me if you want more details on my service.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ken G Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I guess this is obvious, but perhaps other Stromberg carburetors used the same needle-valves.
