Re: Carb leaks
Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2022 10:46 amHi Roy,
Fellow Bognorian here.
Are you able to share this pdf again? The link has expired and I’m trying to stop a leak from the bottom of the float chamber and calibrate my stromberg.
Thanks ✌️

How can i adjust my float-level correctly?
that plastic thing I have not really tested, I will test it tomorrow
Thanks

Whilst not Viva specific, the link below - start at p30 - shows a stomberg CD150 and the procedure for setting the float height. I did this recently on a couple of CD150s, its really quite easy.

With the float chamber (six screws) removed and the carb upside down, the floats will be in their closed position. Take a steel rule and measure at the highest point of the float relative to the carb body and the dimension should be between 15.5-16.5mm. Check this a few times until your sure. Then very gently, and by a small amount, bend the tab on the float until the height gap is in tolerance. Again, check that a few times until your certain all is correct.
Hopefully the attached guide is clear enough for you.
