MG MGF Technical - SU Carb question

To all experts: when the choke is pulled out all the way do the jets (66B) get pulled down? I adjusted the choke cable the other day and now it seems like it is gettig way too much fuel, backfiring when accelerating whie the engine is cold. Advise please !!!

I don't know what sort of car you have but since it has carbs, suspect it is not an F....

Might have better luck posting to another board!

Best form of defence... as they say.

Steve O,

When you "adjusted" your choke (cable?), you may have done it so that the choke is NEVER fully off ... hence too much fuel or ... just guessing. IIRC, on my early B's back in the 60s, they did indeed move the jets to enrichen the mixture .... them were the daze ..:)

Why not pose this question under the MGB BBS - more experts there methinks ... :)

Sounds like a timing problem to me....
