Only a Junior here however i have just got my 29 Tudor running after sitting in shed for some ten years or so. i refitted my marvel as well. However when i started her she was running real rich. I have since found out I had two minor problems the choke control lever was coming out of the GAV screw groove plus was not opening far enough this was because other end of lever was hitting steering shaft housing. these have been fixed with a small adjustment.
Do i have a problem now as my sparkplugs were coated with soot and i have taken them out to clean up but inspecting the plug holes its pretty black in there as well?
Or will this clean itself with better fuel mix?
