DAnH,
Well, carbs are a breeze, it’s fuel injection that scares the crap out of me unless it’s a diesel, which is mechanical (yes, I’m older).
So, don’t worry about it. No Snabb has it about right. Set it and forget it. The only place where my experience differs from his is that I have never managed to flood an old British car. It always seemed to me that they would start if they had gas running out of every pore they had.
The reason people always said that they had to adjust the carbs on old Brit cars with SUs every week was because they could be adjusted. One day the points needed adjusting, and they adjusted the carbs instead. They screwed them up, and then they spent every week end after that trying to fix what they screwed up in the first place, and then they blamed the carbs.
