Decision made... carby has gone back on so we can check the timing and give it a tune.
Managed to remove the old carby to inlet manifold gasket intact (enough!) to use it as a template to make up a new one. A quick clean of the manifold and carby mating surfaces to remove any rubbish. Kept a rag in the inlet manifold to stop grit entering the engine and made doubly sure by giving it a vac. Blew out the carby with compressed air to remove any grit in it.
All went back together no probs.
I've ordered a rebuild kit for the 4GC, so when that arrives hopefully we will have tuned the engine ready for the carby to come back of for a rebuild.
In other news, it looks like I have found a 2nd hand choke (c/w internal mechanism) in the States... stay tuned.
